So in the last days of September I found these two coins in my change. One is an Austrian 2 Euro Cents and the other is a Canadian cent. What's the significance? Well around the same time the Canadian Dollar beat the U.S. dollar.
As you may already know the Euro has been outperforming the U.S. for a while.
Today the currency exchange rate is
$1.00 to $0.94 for the Canadian Dollar
$1.00 to $1.47 for the Euro Dollar
Well even without the exchange prices there is still the numismatic values.
Here are the stats...
Type/Country: 2 Euro Cents/Austria
Year: 2004
Mintage: 156,500,000
Metal: Copper Plated Steel
Value: $0.25 in UNC(although this one look less.)
Type / Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 2005
Mintage: 759,658,000
Metal: Bronze-Plated Zinc
Value: $0.10 in MS-60(again this one look less.)

Do you have a Canadian coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
