bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 11:21 pm Roughly in May 2012 the AR will be out. You can find all ARs dating back to around 2000 on the RCM website. I download and save a copy every year as soon as I can. It's seldom the AR reveals anything we don't already know as collectors, but sometimes the mintages can be interesting. By the way, I now firmly believe both versions of the 2011 cent are common. I bet each type will be at least 25% of the total year's mintage. Report this Post to the Staff
redlock Pillar of the Community Germany 992 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 04:24 am Thanks for the information regarding the release date of the AR. @Petersun: The AR are "buried" on the RCM's website. The mintage figures are "buried" even deeper into the reports. Here is the link: http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/about...orts-1400016 Edited by redlock 12/29/2011 04:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 10:06 pm Thank you for the link for the free report which I find is really helpful. But I don't think that the 2010 report says any mintages for the magnetic cent (2010). But anyway, thanks for this big piece of useful information. Report this Post to the Staff
bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 10:10 pm I don't think the 2010 cent magnetic version circulated. Most (all?) PL sets had the magnetic cent. So there's your approximate mintage. Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 11:29 pm I did take a look at the Royal Canadian Mint reports. It appears to me that the mint is minting too much pennies. Pennies today are almost always used for taxes. There are quadrillions of omega zillions pennies still left in circulation, and the mint should start to catch up on loonies and toonies. Too much collector's coins and bullions. Report this Post to the Staff
tornandfrayed75 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 10:23 pm Interesting thread. In what years are there both magnetic and non-magnetic cents? Will both continue to be minted into the future? Are the other denominations in Canada both mag and non-mag? Thanks. Edited by tornandfrayed75 01/03/2012 10:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
staceyc777 Valued Member Canada 67 Posts	Posted 01/04/2012 11:49 am 2006,2007,2009 through 2011 all have zinc and magnetic cents although in 2007 only in uncirculated sets can you find the 2007 zinc blank. I believe. Report this Post to the Staff

Penny4Me Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 12:23 am how soon before the 2012 zinc and/or magnetic cents are at banks & stores? can someone save me a few when they hit your pocket change? Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 8:50 pm I don't think that Canada will have any more magnetic blanks for cents in 2012. Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 8:58 pm Considering we don't have a penny coin, I find the title a little stupid. Direct link and thanks for the heads up http://www.mint.ca/store/dyn/PDFs/F...PennyENG.pdf Report this Post to the Staff
Penny4Me Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 8:23 pm they been talking about stopping penny for 5 years now, but I think they would give everyone a few years warning when it is stopped, so save me that 2012 Cent...PLE ASE Edited by Penny4Me 01/10/2012 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dvereckis Valued Member Canada 76 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 1:18 pm While picking up a case of 1 cent coins to search from a Scotia bank in Dauphin, MB I received a 2011 magnetic mint box $25 in 1 cents. When I looked online and saw people referring to them as "rare" I decided to hang on to them and search a few rolls for errors. In the first roll I found roughly 15 coins with little spikes on the C and A of Canada which makes me wonder if these are common or actually uncommon for 2011 Magnetic cents?
