I just found my first 2010. Amazingly enough it's a D. I had the hardest time finding the 2009 Ds in Michigan, so it's odd that my first 2010 is a D.

canadian isn't really impressive but maybe thats just because I'm in buffalo NY so I can through a stone and hit the lame country hahah but really the only ones I keep are from pre 1964 those are the ones that have a smaller picture of the queen on them the king george's are very nice too those are pre 53 if I am remembering correct the coin with the dove is like the bicentenial coins here in the states I have a whole set of canadain pennies from the first year king george pennies were made which may have been 37 up until 2010 then 3 rolls of extra pre 64 and KG pennies the only other thing you guys might wanna keep the canadians for is the copper since they were mainly copper like our coins for many years (dont really remember the last year) but yeah toss the funny money back where you found it hahah not worth a lick of time if its modern

Yeah - I just don't see that much Canadian down here in FL, so I keep all of my foreigns in a jar. Most boxes here have more Bahamas pennies than Canadians. LOL.

Well, maybe things are picking up. After finding that blank planchet, the next box had 19 wheats. Nothing old, the oldest being 1942, but at least the numbers are up. Jim

Thank you tumbleweed appreciate that , Here are a few I have gotten out of the first box  I saw that 1955 and and put a smile on my face even though its not the dbl but its my first one and I have an affection for the 1960's pennys it seems to me that the details are more pronounced then the other years

Scooby,  I mean  WOW, all form one roll. Makes you wonder if it was a coin jar or the over run from someone's collection that was turned in. Either way, that is amazing. Jim
