Greetings from south of the border.

I know next to nothing about Canadian money. I have a 1999 Cent that looks unusual to me. QE2's eye does not look like a human eye. It looks like a cat eye. Is this how it always looks? I don't have another cent to compare it to.

Thanks for your help.

heh, I guess I stumped you. Was it my brilliant photography, or my stupidity. Or, are Canadians just the silent type? Nobody has anything to say? I don't mind if someone says "Hey you idiot, it a normal coin." Just say something.

I do not know were you see a cat eye...this is the normal look for the eye in this version of her bust. It is just a side view of the eye is all

I see what appears to be a cat-like vertical pupil in your last photo.I doubt that its normal,but I don't have the eyesight or equipment to focus on her eye like that.

Thank you. Perhaps I will hold on to it until more people comment.

this "virtical pupil" is just the line that shows seperation between the white of the eye and the iris/pupil
