Quoted from Jim Morrison of the 'Doors'....
The last Canadian penny to be produced. I have fond memories of my
dad's aunt visiting us on Sundays and giving all six of us (kids) 5
pennies each, even when we entered our teens in the mid sixties.
In those days you could still buy candies for 2 cents each.. such as
Kraft Caramels, Honeymoons etc.

Now you're calling Oscar a "fool"?
Maybe Kevin is showing good judgement blocking you on Facebook. You
can't even be nice to your 'friends' for any length of time.

The stench alone would be reason enough to block JustHate.

You smell stench? What kind of stench? Are you sure it isn't you?

I imagine that will cause people to horde what they have and what they
can get, looking especially this years production seeing it's the
last. etc.

Not to worry. They will be preserved in US penny jars for decades,
until we drop the penny.
It does beg the question, how much copper is in a Canadian penny?

Nobody pays much attention to pennies but most merchants will throw
other Canadian coins back at you if you try to pass them in trade.
They are virtually worthless. Banks will not do foreign exchange on
coins. When my wife had her store she used to have a big jar of
Canadian coins that slipped by the cashiers. We tried to swap them out
with Canadian snowbirds when they were going home if we could.

I'll take any toonies you have hanging around.
