When I grew up, near Detroit, some of the larger stores kept Canadian money under the drawer. Lots of Canadians would come over for cheap cigarettes, and other items which were taxes more heavily in Windsor. I don't know if any still do though, even then it varied place to place.

Personally, I'd welcome just about anything over the USD right now. Its really tanked in the past few years, and now with "Helicopter Ben" at the Fed....... I'm a bit worried the only kilts I'll be able to afford in the future will be sold in pesos or something.
