Ridiculous.
I'd hate to be the church financial secretary. Getting money in the offering plate in both American and Canadian dollars.
In Minnesota, clerks accept Canadian coins without any trouble.
But end-of-the-year giving statements might be a beast to do if one week someone gives tithe or offering money in Canadian dollars but another week in American.
Well at least they aren't posting money changers outside the doors!
There are so many simple solutions to this problem, I can't imagine that it won't be resolved soon. Maine's senators (one of whom is Catholic and the other Greek Orthodox) and the Congressman for that district (also Catholic) are turning the heat up on the Feds to cut this fellow some slack.
After an FBI background check on the guy and with an occasional visit from the Border Patrol folks to check up on him, he should be able to cross over the border at specified times (for Mass, on grocery day, for doctor's appointments) by simply making a phone call to the nearest border checkpoint. If you know the geography of that part of Maine, you know that "closest border checkpoint" is by no means "close".
