The last pennies were struck at the mint in Philadelphia, where the country’s smallest denomination coins have been produced since 1793.
The Canadian penny is a 1-cent coin that is no longer in circulation, with production ending in 2012 and distribution ceasing in 2013. While cash transactions are now rounded to the nearest 5 cents, pennies can still be used for payment and are available for collectors. They were first issued in 1858 and their design has varied over the years, but the reverse typically features maple leaves.
