A few weeks ago, I've bought a bulk lot with 400+ Canadian cents. Apparently I was just in time, because a friend of mine said to me that Canada will ban the Canadian 1 cent coin from circulation.
A question for our Canadian collectors: Is that true?
Greetings, Lotus07
No more cents?

We've abolished them just as Finland and soon will Belgium do the same thing with the small red coins. That makes it even harder for me, as a 1 and 2 eurocent collector, to collect them.

Due to the current status quo concerning the 1 and 2 cent euro coins. I did start to save them even knowing that I do not collect euro coins at all.
resuming, from now on I'll only swap a max of 3 each time. Doing so I'll make much more people happy.

Cents are money too!

britain are not producing the penny anymore after this year and will be phasing them out over the next few years which i believe 2014 is the date for the end. i've just gone through my penny jar tonight and got two sets (excluding the 1972 which was proof sets only) just for future reasons

And will Britain also abolish the 2 pence coin?

Wouldn't Britain then have to completely redesign their coinage as it would leave the Royal Shield incomplete? Which would be fine by me, as I really don't like the current UK coinage (except 1 pound and 2 pounds)

Quote: Lotus07There's nothing intrinsically ugly about the current UK coins, I just don't like the idea of putting a bunch of coins together to complete a puzzle. I'd just prefer each coin had it's own distinct image.Quote: lbillowsI think most of the current circulating euro's are uglier then the current UK coinage, except the 2 euro cc's and the euro's of the newest eurocountries.Quote: Mark240590britain are not producing the penny anymore after this year and will be phasing them out over the next few years which i believe 2014 is the date for the end. i've just gone through my penny jar tonight and got two sets (excluding the 1972 which was proof sets only) just for future reasonsAre you sure this is true?
