The coronary system is comprised of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. From the innumerable cardiac capillaries, blood flows back to the cardiac chambers through venules, which in turn coalesce into the cardiac veins. Most cardiac veins collect and return blood to the right atrium through the coronary sinus; there may or not be a Thebesian valve covering the ostium of the coronary sinus. The major venous vessels of the human heart are: coronary sinus, the anterior interventricular veins, left marginal veins, posterior veins of the left ventricle, and the posterior interventricular veins (see also the Coronary System Tutorial).
Coronary veins carry deoxygenated blood with carbon dioxide away from the heart muscle and back to the right atrium of the heart.
The function of the coronary artery is to carry oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium (heart muscle), it does not actually take the carbon dioxide away, (that is the job of the great and small cardiac veins).
Yes, veins carry alot of carbon dioxide.
The coronary veins primarily remove carbon dioxide and metabolic waste products, such as lactic acid, from the heart muscle. These substances are byproducts of cellular respiration and energy metabolism in the cardiac tissue. By transporting these waste products away, the coronary veins help maintain the heart's overall health and function.
Carbon dioxide
The pulmonary veins are high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. All other veins are high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen.
Veins carry blood low in oxygen back to the heart. However, the amount of oxygen in veins is still higher than the amount of carbon dioxide.
The coronary veins drain into the coronary sinus, which in turn drains into the right atrium.

Plants give us oxygen we give them carbon dioxide.
