You might try getting some Canadian coins (25 cents, $1 and $2) at your local coin shop at a discount. Then you can take them across the border and spend them in Canada. Worked great for me last summer. You should be able to get $1 in Canadian for about 70 cents or so U.S., significantly lower than the current exchange rate of .7880 posted on xe.com.
Don't have them in rolls until you actually cross the border, however. You don't want to have to roll them twice.

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
