Canadian Mint,1 cent,penny,-circulated
Canadian Mint began melting the 1 cents coins and the remaining coins
are considered collectible (In 2013, the Canadian Mint began melting down the
estimated 35 billion pennies that were in circulation).
On March 29, 2012, the
federal government announced in its budget that it would withdraw the penny
from circulation in the fall of 2012. The budget announcement eliminating the
penny cited the cost of producing it at 1.6 cents. The final penny was minted
at the RCM's Winnipeg, Manitoba plant on the morning of May 4, 2012. Existing
pennies will remain legal tender indefinitely; however, pennies were withdrawn
from circulation on February 4, 2013. Only pennies produced in 1982 or later
are still legally "Circulation Coins".
