Best Answer

It's technically still in circulation in Canada so it doesn't have any extra value.

As of 2013 the US and Canadian dollars are worth almost the same so it's a just 5¢ in both countries. Most US stores probably won't take it in change but it might work in a vending machine or parking meter, that's about all.
