asyrp43 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 2:24 pm I've been finding 5-10 Canadian pennies in a box while searching. What do you do with them? put them back in rolls to trade? Are there any that I should be keeping? Like keeping pre 82 Lincolns. For now I've been keeping them in a cup with anything unusual I find that I want to go back and take a second look at.

jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 2:45 pm I moved your post to the 'Canadian Coins, Bank Notes, and Paper Money' forum. The regulars should be better equipped to answer the "what to look for, what to keep" question.

asyrp43 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 3:31 pm Nothing special. Mainly 70's and 80's. I did find a few from the 40's I think when I was searching wheat pennies last week. Report this Post to the Staff

realpenny Valued Member 423 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 4:46 pm 1996 and back is copper. What to do with them... Start a Canadian collection. Roll them up and give them back to the banks that gave them to you in the first place. Throw them into a wishing well and wish for wheats. Save them and spend them if you ever travel to Canada. Keep them in a bowl with the rest of the Canadian cents you find. Yell "scramble" around a bunch of kids and throw a pile of them and watch the kids fight over Canadian cents. You can check out this site for which ones might be worth looking out for: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php Edited by realpenny 01/17/2012 4:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
