grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 7:43 pm Realize I live in south Louisiana, so this past weekend my ten-year-old granddaughter and I went the store and after I purchased something, I handed her my change and asked her if there was something interesting in our change. I hadn't even glanced at what the cashier handed me. Her reply was 'papa there is something wrong with Abraham Lincoln on this cent". Of course I said "well what"? "Abraham Lincoln turned into a woman" was her answer! In south Louisiana we rarely see Canadian pennies and she had never seen one. A little coin humor ! Remember this "You don't know how you look til you get your picture took" a Cajun proverb! maybe I should have posted this in a different forum. Anyway Report this Post to the Staff

It is why I collect Canada large cents to this day. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner.

We do see Canadian pennies and a Canadian nickel from time to time. Maybe once every five years for me. Obviously I don't handle change as much as other people do. My occupation does not lend itself to much change. You know change is inevitable except from a vending machine! Edited by grospoisson 12/17/2021 08:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
