Or do others find a good amount of Canadian cents in their bcr's, as well? I have several dozen. I almost have more of these than I do of wheaties.  On the upside I've been finding A LOT of AU 2009 cents & the wheaties I have found are better dates & quality than I found in the beginning. And a few other special ones. |

I am sure finding Canadian coins has much to do with your location. Members in the northern states would find them fairly often, but those in the southern states would be less likely. Not sure about the 2009 Lincoln Cents  |

I also find a decent amount of Canadian coins in with my penny rolls, I actually dont mind finding them to be honest. What I did is I bought a Canadian penny folder so that I can try to fill that as well, while I'm trying to fill my American Lincoln folders. Maybe give that a try and then when you stubble upon those canadian coins you can get excited about possibly filling a hole.

 Fuzzy I only found 4 Canadian cents ever in Florida; 3 of which in last two bricks bought this year the other almost two years ago but find 9-16 Wheaties per box(last box was 20) is common and have gotten a full wheat customer roll more than once well only twice. Getting change back in stores, I tend to get a few Canadian cents back regularly and a whole bunch from Bermuda also. Living in retirement town helps |

I accumulated over 4 rolls' worth while living in Atlanta over the course of 10 years of using cash and roll hunting. I think I was only a few short from a full 1952-2012 set, in fact. I think it all has to do with how often somebody decides to dump their vacation change to profit the 20ish% disparity between the USD and CAD.

I've found more than you'd expect in Oklahoma. If I were to average/box, I'd say 3 or 4. But they usually come in bunches.

I haven't searched a box in 6 months or so (the itch has returned), but I used to find 15-20+ per box up here in New England. I filled up majority of a Whitman Canadian penny folder starting in 1944 to 2012 (I used the first page of folder for newer mintage, so I could condense it to 1 folder) and then made a deal with a YN collector on CCF to fill the rest of my holes including the varieties that were listed in the folder . I later received a complete set 1960-2012 (with some varieties and magnetic/non magnetic) as a secret Santa gift last year, so I've got 2 "sets" and a zip lock bag filled with more from CRH. I really do love the Canadian pennies, it got to point I'd enjoy finding an old Canadian vs a wheat.

I don't search cents but I typically find 40-50 Canadian dimes per $250 box of US. Of the 50 Canadian I might find one or two silvers.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
