Searching your couch for pennies could pay off
The Royal Canadian Mint stopped distributing pennies Monday, but some of the one cent coins in your change might still be worth a pretty penny.
“We wish we would see more of them, because people are taking coins to the bank that are scarce,” said Gary Meckling, a coin collector and owner of Sceptre Coin and Stamp in Saskatoon.
He said there are some specific one cent pieces to keep an eye out for.
“If you were looking for one cent pieces from the 1920s, you'd be looking for 1922, 1923 and 1925,” he said, adding those would sell for about $20 each.
