People are just plain stupid! These were not even the last rolls made. Guarantee these were returns from Banks and the mint said what do we do with these coins. Then it dawned on them to sell them to the public at 10 dollars a pop make a few million and cheaper than melting them.
Then even better people started believing they are the last coins prodcued!
Crazyyyyy

I have to laugh at all the morons buying these products. Even the people who buy the boxes dated May 4 2012 are fooling themselves. The last pennies to leave the mint actually left this year. So when was the last 2012 penny produced, May 2012? When was the last 2012 issued penny? February 4, 2013. http://actionplan.gc.ca/en/initiati...nating-pennySo if you got a roll of pennies last year, sorry buddy, not the last penny ever issues. Definitely not the last ever produced. Effectively a box marked 2013 would be a 2013 issue penny even though it has a 2012 date on it. Those boxes should be worth a fair bit. Couldn't be more than a few million issued this year. Go find those boxes. |

Guys upstairs:
1) You all miserably missed this once-in-a-life opportunity to own one of several very last penny rolls in Canadian history.
2) Even more miserable, you guys still don't realize that.
3) The most miserable thing is, you guys will barely change your mind in your lifetime, even when you see huge auction prices on these several very last penny rolls after 5-10 years.
My 2 cents, anyway, I don't wish you could understand.
But, as long as it's not your business, please, stop saying these buyers are silly and you're genius. Please!

Dear Yumbo. How could anybody have received the last penny made? That penny is in a museum. How did anybody get the last roll of pennies ever distributed by buying a Farewell roll? The Farewell Roll were issues in 2012 and last pennies were issued by the Mint into 2013. The fact of the mater is people who buy these roll have convinced themselves that they have something special when all they did was pay a premium for a sicker on a roll of pennies. Symbolically you have bought nothing more than the last roll of a special edition release. Not the last penny ever distributed or made. Very sad, what a waste of money.
P.S. I wonder how people are protecting these rolls from damage and corrosion. The labels are very fragile and the outside pennies will tarnish if left exposed to oxygen. I hope nobody touched the pennies by hand.

What would it matter if people touched the pennies at the end of the roll with their hands? If the pennies are not actually the last ones produced, and if they are the same as all the rest of the pennies in the many many boxes of 2012 pennies, then the hologram sticker is the real thing that people need to preserve.

Who cares when these pennies were made if you don't like them don't buy them. People have the right to collect anything they want and pay any amount there is no reason they should be called stupid or anything else get a life and stop insulting people for what they want to buy with their own money

Note:
1) The penny in the museum is the very last penny ever MADE (not DISTRIBUTED).
2) #20000 special wrap roll is the very last penny roll ever DISTRIBUTED (not MADE).
Plese check dictionary for the difference between MADE and DISTRIBUTED !

adjective a superl. of late with later as compar.

4.
final: in his last hours.
5.
ultimate or conclusive; definitive: the last word in the argument. If pennies were distributed after you received your roll, your roll was not the last one. The Mint distributed 2012 rolls into 2013, there for and in conclusion you did not buy anything more than a sticker with a number on it warped around some pennies. I will never begrudge anybody from wasting their money, but you can not convince me that there is anything special about these rolls of pennies. |

My penny roll from the mint was shipped weeks after the #20000 roll was sold on ebay. Therefore my roll was DISTRIBUTED later. Please send me $7000.  Edited by CC-Ottawa

Say whatever you want to say, market is market, you can not stop some guy spending over quarter million dollars for a 1936 canadian penny. And one more thing, collection is not only about rarity also about historic meaning. Some people treats sticker on the roll as nothing, then, you also can treat the mintage published by RCM as nothing as well. Then, you will have your own conclusion: "I can NOT trust RCM anything !".

Last word, according to #19997 final ebay auction price ($3,275), #20000 definitely has over $10,000 value already. |

Not talking about the market or anything else, just pointing out that your dictionary's definition of 'distributed' is apparently flawed. Could not care less how other people spend their money.  |

Quote:Some people treats sticker on the roll as nothing, then, you also can treat the mintage published by RCM as nothing as well. Then, you will have your own conclusion: "I can NOT trust RCM anything !". Life is not all or nothing. This is the same logic religious fanatics use; if the first book of the bible is fiction then the entire book is fictional, there for it is all true. You can trust the mint that their circulation numbers are correct to within human error. You can also trust that a roll marked 10,000 of 10,000 is part of a sequence of rolls produced. The number does not signify the manufacturing or production order but simply as belonging to the group issued. Using this logic your roll is worth no more than any other roll issued. You have assigned your own significance to this roll that was never intended by the mint. There fore your logic and reality are flawed. I don't blame you for thinking this way, the mint misled everybody. They stated: Quote:
Own a piece of history! In this unique venture, we are offering the last one million Canadian 1-cent pieces ever distributed to Canadians in 50-cent rolls. Then they went on to distribute pennies for another six months after selling these rolls. To be the last, they must come last. Unfortunately this was nothing more than good marketing to sell pennies at a ridiculous price. |

Hey Guys,
I don't come over to the NCLT forums that often... but a word of advice if you havent been following other Candadian forum...
I have been slapped on the wrist by Admin for name calling... in his admonitions he stated that the "Canadian forums are most troublesome" that we cause "80% of the problems" and that they "were going to clean things up..."
If you don't want to get kicked off best cool it on the name calling I guess...
Take care, and Have a Great Weekend!
