1940 three pence
1935 three pence
1918 three pence
1910 three pence
1900 three pence
1841 four pence
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 HEREEdited by unruhjonny

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.
