Shhh they are American dimes. They would have to come to Canada to punish him for it. LOL J/K.

yep.

I doubt you'd find a company willing to do anything officially because it's illegal.

But it's pretty simple to do.

Isn't there still a guy at the Sidney ferry terminal who carves things out of coins?

It would be pretty easy to do it yourself

jj - you could not be more wrong if you tried. There is nothing illegal about drilling holes in US coins in Canada. US money is NOT legal tender in Canada. A merchant may accept if if he/she wants to, but it has no value until it is coverted into Canadian currency. There is no law in Canada that protects the American currency.
