Are the any major errors or double dies. I am getting ready to do a large coin jar and I have not searched cents much since 2012. On a side note whats up with the use of "pennies" I thought they were cents?

That Penny/Cents debate has been around for possibly a thousand years.

No major Doubled Dies since 1999 that I am aware of when they completely switched to single squeeze hubbing. very minor DDs in the center areas of coins but nothign to write home about.

As long as the write pennies on the penny wrappers and boxes, they are pennies, blame commerce!

The US Mint calls them Pennies.

If you cannot call the cent a penny then you cannot call the five cents coin a nickel.

Penny (Canadian coin)
So I guess Canada uses that the term
