What do you do with the Canadian pennies you find? I wouldn't feel right putting them back in penny wraps so I've just been putting them aside. Are they worth anything?

I set mine aside also. the older ones are worth slight premiums, there are a few varieties worth alot. I had an AWESOME site bookmarked, but I lost the link when my computer crashed :(

There are Canadian members here. I just keep them cause I plan on putting together a collection. Once I get enough I will get a folder and put them in.There are Canadian coins that have premiums. IF you search the forums you will probably find that information. Search on the Numismatic Search Engine in the navigation bar to the left of the forum. Hey HelzelsCoins, is this the link? http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.phpEdited by papatony

Just keep putting them aside and eventually you'll have a collection.   |

I went out and got a blank Whitman Small Cents folder a few years ago just to see what kind of a Canadian Small Cents set I could put together just from coins pulled from rolls in Central Kentucky. Except for a few of the major varieties, I completed a 1948 to date set.

When I was actively roll hunting, I would keep them aside and eventually I started building an album of them. It is not complete, but one day I will probably start working on it again.

I keep any Canadian coins I get in change or roll hunting. I like the look of them and just keep a bit of a hoard of them.

Haven't done a box of pennies in quite awhile. But with the thunderstorms the last couple of days, I brought a box home last night so I knew I'd have a source of entertainment. Among other things, I found a PAIR of 1940 Canadian pennies. I put them in my Canadian coin tubes.

I just set mine aside as well. Just checked and I've got most of the pennies for the period 1959 - 2005

This is funny. Up in Canada, we see soooooo many american pennies. I don't bother saving them unless they are wheats or the 2009 licoln series.

I agree with the above. We get a lot of American ones in the north. I keep all of them for times when I make trips to the states. Like stated above I typically only hold on to wheaties...really looking forward to a fluke indian head! That would be awesome!

If I find a Canadian penny in my bank wrapped roll, I put it back in the roll when I return coin. Those rolls I make sure I don't use a coin counter. The closer to the border the worse this is. At this point I may hold Canadian pennies simply because who knows how fast they'll disappear come September :(

Conversely, do you feel right about buying foreign money at your bank when you're trying to get US coins? Remember you're not going to Canada buying tons of pennies only to return them to US banks. That would be a slightly different situation. |

I used to throw them back until I found out some where magnetic and some weren't. The non-magnetic would go through, but magnetic would stick to a magnet and I'd lose those. So now I hold them all.
Does anyone know a good site to see values of these? I can only find mintage figures that show a simple idea... the older the less produced lol

One of the 2006 Magnetic varieties is supposed to be worth quite a bit.
