It was a Canadian quarter.

I didn't feel like arguing so I handed her another (American) quarter and said, "Sorry, I just got back from a trip to China and I guess that one was still in my pocket."

Her reply?

Oh, I didn't know they used pesos over there.

a few years ago, something like that happened to a friend of mine when he was visiting florida. It pissed him off. He owned a gas station. A while later an American visiting Toronto filled his tank and tried to pay with US Dollars, and Mario told him he didn't except foreign currency. Dude had to walk to a bank, change some money and walk back to pay Mario. Courtesy given and returned.
