It’s probably not too much of a stretch to say that nearly every home in America has a stash of Canadian coins sitting in a drawer. Somewhere along the line, somebody in the household started pulling Canadian coins out of their pocket change, tossed it in a jar, and said “someday I’ll spend those coins in Canada.”
We’ve decided to help send those Canadian coins back home for the holidays, and benefit kids in foster care in the process.
Here in the Atlanta area, where we call home, everyone (it seems) listens to syndicated radio talk show host and consumer advocate Clark Howard. Every year around Christmas time, Clark broadcasts live from area Walmart stores and collects donations from his loyal listeners for one of his (and our) favorite causes: a program he calls Clark’s Christmas Kids. 2011 marked the 20th year that Clark collected gifts and money to provide holiday gifts for children in foster care, and he’ll certainly do it again this year. According to his website, Clark’s Christmas Kids Campaign collects about half of all the gifts Georgia Department of Family and Children’s Services gives to children in foster care each year.
From now through Christmas, when you send your Canadian coins to us in exchange for US dollars, insert the Promo Code “KIDS” on your packing slip and we will make your check payable to Clark’s Christmas Kids. We’ll send your check directly to Clark, in your name, and provide you with proof of payment. To thank you for your generosity, we’ll increase our best available rate on Canadian coins by 5%.
And we’ll do our best to get those Canadian coins home for the holidays.
Do you have more than 25 pounds of Canadian coins you’d like to donate? Give us a call toll-free at 855-EUROCOIN (855-387-6264) and we’ll pay your shipping cost.
