Thank you very much santa!

Canadian? Maybe British?
To the best of my knowledge post-confederation Canadian coinage looks like this: - 1 cent (cent as opposed to penny; cent was actually french term for 1/100th of a dollar - I recently learned this) - 5 cent - 20 cent; one year only, I'd love to have one some day - 25 cent - 50 cent - 1 Dollar (1935+)
Pence on the other hand (I only recently learned this too) is the plural form of penny - and to the best of my knowledge this was used for Great Britian, and a few Dominion countries like Australia...
Still lamenting the passing of our penny; Hopefully I'll be passing the bug onto the next generation. Wanted list HERE

My receiver never posted but their name is not on the list. Must not have been a very good gift. I'll do better next year.

Some people may just like to fly under the radar. I would t take it too personal. It's all in good faith and fun. You did great!

I feel bad for those who remain on the "unreceived" list.

my sender wrote me a couple days ago, to let me know my gift was on the way, so I will update as soon as I receive it.

Of the outstanding members to receive, most of the items being sent to you are from Foreign countries and It "appears" that they have been sent. I am trying to monitor this without pestering people so please be patient remember the postal service in other countries is not always fast/efficient/honest
Please be patient And if anyone is feeling generous I have one more person who sent out a gift but no one was assigned to send them a gift. Enjoy what is left of the weekend if you are not snowed in as is much of the US.
