There must be billions of Canadian pennies that have avoided the Great Meltdown. I like the business idea of selling sealed bank boxes of these pennies. A coin collectors dream. I love Canadian coins, I have a tin filled with the pennies including pre 1937 ones and a stack of Canadian silver dollars (pre 1968). Love the videos Quinn, keep up the good work.
AWESOME VIDEO! You are my number one guy on coins. I maybe 71 years old but you make me feel young again with this hobby. Keep up the good vids. Later.
Canadian here, to us American coins aren’t considered foreign, we usually call them American. I guess you can sorta see how familiar we are to American currency based on how many American pennies are in those rolls. I can definitely say that the vast majority of American coins are pennies in Canada. So much so it isn’t a surprise.
Canadian here. Most people I hear refer to U.S. coins found in circulation as American. As for other foreign coins, if the name of the country is obvious we'll often just call it British, Australian, Mexican Peso etc.
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one of those boxes Edit: I’d say we don’t consider American to be foreign, probably just because of how common all denominations are in our change
In my canadian Whitman books, starting 2002, there are 2 mintages of each canadian cent. A regular cent, and a P cent. Which is a mint mark under her head on the obverse. So you'll need more than just the date on the newer ones.
Dude, this is a great series idea. this is already very interesting. im concerned about the US pennies being so common, but those foreigns are cool. From this Americans perspective, i call canadian coins just that, canadian. in my mind they are semi foreign. their coins are up to the quarter basically the same size, made from garbage metals but the same size.
Man, the benefit of living in northern michigan. I get a minimum of 25 Canadians a penny box. My best was nearly $2.50. Date is no object either, king george vi - young head Elizabeth consistently.
my parents think im wierd. im 8 and i have a 100 gram guiger silver bar from apmex on my christmas list. edit: i dont remember how to spell wierd so im just gonna go with it.
Dude canada melts any and everything. Lol Their old silver is worth buying too. Apparently theirs a 1921 half or full dollar that's worth a lot because they chose to melt all that were sitting in stock to make more dollars... it's crazy
If you are in Canada Just go to any bank and ask About 60% of the time the have them and usually will sell them to you I just picked up 75$ the other day And almost as many as I have time to search :) 👍👍
Which part of Canada are you in? I have heard from multiple Canadians who have tried what you just described and failed at every bank they tried. I am wondering if it depends on which area you live in
I live near Vancouver The credit unions are the best Bank of Montreal and TD are usually really good There just happy to get rid of them :) It costs banks more to ship them then the 25$ face value It also relays on relationship and teller interest. :)
I put up a few videos a while back However no one probably ever even came across them lol I probably find more wheats then the equivalent Canadian years ...on average ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AVwYV_jzwfA.html
Nice!! Love Canadian pennies!! I have over 100 young heads and about 20 king George pennies!! Enjoyed the hunt!! Don’t have King George the 5th though!
I really enjoyed this video, living close to the Canadian Boarder I find a lot of Canadian cents in my rolls especially in the customer wrapped rolls. Thank you for sharing
I went on vacation in a place called sechelt in British Colombia (I’m from Alberta). The town is connected by land to the mainland, but there are no roads back to everywhere else, so it is isolated.The only way to get back is by boat. This was about a year ago when I was 14. I walked to all of the banks in town and bought 250 dollars in Canadian pennies. About 3/4 of the coins were in bank bags. The banks were so willing to give them to me, because of how expensive it is to send them back by boat. There was also a couple of rolls (2 or 3) which seemed to be a collection dump with all of them either George’s v, or George vi.There was also a full roll of uk pennies. I found it interesting that over 50 percent of the pennies where actually copper (I always separate those). Back home the banks will always save pennies for me but usually it’s not over 20 dollars. I’ve never actually searched American pennies, but I have found about 9 or 10 over 100 years old in Canada.
WOW, what an awesome find! I just posted a video on my channel of me hunting a box of canadian cents as well. It's quite a coincidence that we both ended up searching through a box of canadian cents! It's such a shame they are so hard to come by, so i'm really glad you could secure a box. I went to Canada this summer and it took me a good 4 or 5 tries before I could find an institution that wanted to sell me a box of them. Nice finds so far, and I can't wait to see what else you find!
I have the entire Canadian penny collection back to 1858, including most of the varieties.My Geo. 6th and Elizabeth sets are in ms.red.I also have the 53 thru 55 in both sf and nsf varieties.Along with this, and have all of the provincial pennies and half pennies, and most of the tokens from1910 to 1934.
VERY IMPORTANT. Canadian pennies in the 21st century can be separated by more than just the date. You should always check the obverse under the queen for a mark that could either be a P or the RCM logo. coins from 2007-2012 where made in 2 varieties, steel and zinc. So it is also important to over these coins with a magnet. Some varieties of these can be rare and valuable.
Super excited you got that box So far it resembles a typical Canadian penny hunt Lot of American .. usually around 30% +/- (I have done very well completing my American collection ) When I sent you those rolls a whole back I took out all the American pennies and replace them cause there were alot :) Looking forward to seeing what you find
Note from Canada - Look for magnetic and non magnetic coins in the last couple years plus the 2006 varieties. There’s also a couple cool errors in the late 70’s and mid 60’s. Most are fairly easy to find.
I have SO many of these Canadian pennies in my collection and I don't know why they put the pennies out of circulation and I found these pennies in an old change bank I searched througb
That's definitely a South Korean coin. My Hangul reading is very new, but the word on the right side of building is "Won", on the left is probably a number. On the other side it says, "Hangookun Haeng". Hangook = Korean. Un is a grammatical ending, Haeng I'm not sure the meaning of.
It doesn't say on your collection book but there is 5 different types of 2003 Canadian pennies; diadem with and without a P, diadem with a P non-magnetic and crowned with and without a P
I don't know anything about Canadian pennies but I do collect old American pennies I even have a couple Indian Head pennies from 1902 and a couple steel pennies from 1943 and lots of wheat pennies from diferent years I think the oldest wheat penny I have is from 1917 I would really like to get at least one each from 1909-1959
Wow Quin! That's a good score! The most I've ever gotten of Canadian pennies was a few customer rolls of them. I think it's always cool to have and hunt a box of Canadian pennies especially since they were put out of circulation. I'm curious, what are you going to do with those Canadian pennies?
You mentioned the Canadian government pulling out pennies to recycle them. Given how many American pennies you found within those five rolls, I wonder how the Canadian government responds to such a high volume. Would the destruction of so many American coins be acceptable? Perhaps there are methods in place to reduce overhead filtering tasks.
I consider American coins foreign because they’re not my country’s currency, any coin that’s not my country’s currency is considered a foreign coin to me.
