bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 4:21 pm Today I received a Canadian cent of 2007 with a special mint mark. Can someone explain why or on which occasion this mint mark was put on the coin. Thanks a lot.

Coins are also minted with no logo, or the "P" logo. The "P" logo signifies that the coins have a special composition, for pennies, it is .940 steel, .045 copper, .015 nickel. The coins with no logo and the mint logo are made from copper plated zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
