I am ready to run down to the corner store with these and buy some pop! Thanks for the memory boost.
Thanks trunkman
Gone never to be seen again, along with our Canadian copper penny that will be taken out of circulation this year. Some of these dollars released in our centennial year had 1867-1967 instead of a numbering system. They were heavily hoarded but yours were not , so they are extra special. RER (LOUMANAL)
Thanks mustangtony
The penny starts to disappear today. At my work we've been told to stop giving them out today. So we have to round up or down 1.01 and 1.02 goto 1.00, 1..03, 1.04, 1.06 and 1.07 all goto 1.05 and 1.08 and 1.09 to 1.10. Our head office is not making any changes to our computers to adjust for the difference. How crazy is that.
Thanks for the love walksoftly and PhilDavidAlexanderMorris
