jpaiva83 Pillar of the Community Canada 567 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 3:08 pm Went to the bank today (yup, mine was open on Sunday) and picked up their last two boxes. I did some basic searching and it looks like I got a box of nothing but copper. 7.5KG of the stuff. :) Report this Post to the Staff

That Canadian Guy Valued Member Canada 156 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 4:53 pm Got 4 boxes from my bank today. Now I've got 23 boxes to search through later. Report this Post to the Staff
masterofsecrets Valued Member Canada 158 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 6:18 pm Found out on Wednesday that "National Bank" and maybe some others like your local Credit Union will still give out boxes after the 4th. You just need to ask the right person. Personally, I don't have the time to search through boxes of pennies, but just hoping I can help you guys out. Report this Post to the Staff
snaggle New Member Canada 8 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 10:35 am I am disapointed that the mint is recalling the penny, when they stoped making it they said it would still be in cerculation for the better part of a decade, and now there are no longer giving it out. I think banks are not giving out any pannies because they can claim back the money from the mint for handling as well as face value. Report this Post to the Staff
