Just Bob Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I seriously wonder if you sometimes cringe before you post articles, knowing that you are almost certainly going to get a few sarcastic remarks - whatever the subject matter. brg5658 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wait this thread was posted in the coins forum? I just clicked on the discussion button below the news item...... to make this coin related I have a pail of Canadian pennies that are......worthless because I just don't have the heart to throw them out. I grew up using Canadian pennies, I will not throw out my childhood memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

I think it fair to say any Canadian one-cent piece minted up to and including the 12-sided ones in 1986 are worth saving. The cent reverted to round form thereafter with the ones minted from 1997 through 1999 made from zinc, with a thin copper coating, and the ones minted from 2000 to 2012, when production of the penny ceased predominantly made from steel, with a thin copper coating. Each coin's ping when dropped on a countertop or other suitable safe hard-top surface should emit a different sound. I am assuming we are talking about comparatively new coinage and not the older types prior to 1938 which would have a numismatic value beyond their metal content. Link to post Share on other sites

When I drop some of my Canadian cents on a hard surface, they ping out Celine Dion songs. Link to post Share on other sites
