So banks are still handing out boxes in Canada, I thought they were instructed not to, and to send all cents back the government?
You are correct. The banks will not issue cents to customers as of Feb 04, 2013.
The boxes of coins I have recently picked up were from a local School charity drive. They contacted me to buy the coins off of them instead of taking them back to the bank. It is nice to have a few connections. All these cents would of been sent back to the FED without anyone having a chance to search them. I hope there are a few diamonds hiding in the lot. either way. I'm having fun searching them.
