Future collector value of Canadian pennies

[Silver Chronicles]

I was looking at an article earlier that said they would recycle the metal from currently circulated Canadian pennies when they demonitize them. Do you think someone holding onto one would see a numismatic premium on them if they melt enough down. I think I might trade in for a few and pluck someout if I see them.

I'd say in a hundred years they would be of value. Just think Indian head cents were circulated at one time.

Today was the last day that they were available to be shipped out to the banks here in Canada.

I keep all I have. I have like 75 of them, about 50% copper.

IH cents became rare because no one thought to keep them. I mean cents still existed right? I bet everyone in the country keeps a handful now that they know they are going to be detroyed. Heck, most people don't even bother to turn them in to get paper money, they just leave them in a jar. I don't think anyone is goingto rush out to get rid of them now.

I keep Georges and nothing later, its a waste of time. They get thrown in the copper pile with the rest of the copper CENTS, to go to some copper cent fool. Remember, Canadians use the term CENT as well as we do, its the brits, that use 'penny'.
