Just a couple days ago I found my new oldest: a 1916 Wheat cent and a 1920 Wheat cent. CRH'ing for Canadian pennies. By far, I have found more old pennies from the United States than from Canada in my canadian penny boxes.

Here is my oldest find. I got this out of the till at work. My next oldest is a 1940 canadian penny. I also pulled a 1939 penny out of my front yard with my metal detector.(I don't think that counts as circulation as it had likely been there for years)

Your trip jar? I hope by that you mean coins you plan on selling in order to take a trip and not a jar that you intend on cashing in at the bank.......as a 1912 Canadian Nickel was made of silver and NOT Nickel.

It should have a smaller diameter than the current ones.

When Wally-World ( Walmart) first opened in Edmonton on the West-end (they did not take debit cards), I received Canadian pennies from the 20's & 30's in change...

Recently (2-weeks back), a fellow worker ... received a shiny-new 1945 victory nickel in change ... which he kindly gave to me...

I beat the 1920 penny already! I got this out of a Canadian penny roll last week, along with four other wheats including a 1943 steel cent.
