I was appalled at a gift shop in Skagway witnessing a transaction taking place with a tourist who was digging out coins in a little pouch and placing it on the counter, as once that one Canadian nickel touched the counter surface while still counting her money - the clerk immediately flicks the coin right back at the woman like it was a slug (not setting it to the side or handing it back) and states Canadian coins are not accepted in a rudely manner.
From what I saw of the shops in Skagway you would probably have better luck with Rupees. ;)
