Al D New Member Canada 27 Posts	Posted 01/30/2020 6:58 pm I'm from Canada and have a few rolls of pre-1982 US pennies (no errors found) I'd like to deposit at the bank. Thing is, my bank only accepts them at par with the Canadian dollar (and currently, 1 USD = 1.32 CAD). What could I alternatively (and legally) do with them not to lose 0.32 CAD on every 100 US pennies I have? Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 01/30/2020 7:26 pm I'm guessing you found them in Canadian rolls, so you only paid 1 cent each, so you really wouldn't be losing anything if that was the case.. Report this Post to the Staff

Joma New Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted 01/31/2020 7:55 pm Sort them by grade for the practice. Throw a few out there for the opinion of others to see how well you did. This will let you get way more out of it then an extra .32 cent a piece. Unless of course you have 50 000 rolls. Report this Post to the Staff
Al D New Member Canada 27 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 11:19 pm Thanks to all for the suggestions. As a kid, my dad would give me a few pennies to make wishes with and throw in the water fountains at the mall. The fun of doing that again would've been "worth" way more than depositing them at the bank (and I would've had bagfuls of wishes to make!), but they've since removed the fountains... Oh well, maybe they'll come in handy in the event of a future trip to the US (if they're still in circulation at that point). Edited by Al D 02/01/2020 11:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
