    In Canada, the Last penny was minted on may 2012. The distribution was discontinued from 5th February 2013  but you can still use them as a legal tender if you have any with you.

    You CAN still use them but only if the business will accept them. They are not legally obligated to do so anymore and in my area of Canada (at least at the businesses with whom I deal) they do not.

    I'm 76 years of age and I've never seen a 2 cent coin. Our 1 cent coin was discontinued a long time ago (4-5 years) and is not accepted anywhere. We round up or down accordingly.

    Sorry Duck,i do not have a 2 cent coin,,but i have a 1963 1 cent coin and 1942 10 cent,i have a jar that i have thrown odd coins that i have collected over the years,now and again i pull em out and see what is what..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    Discontinued production, but still accepted as legal tender

    They call them a Loonie and a Toonie. I live near Canada. We used do go to the Windsor Casino or to Toronto and get plenty of Canadian coins.Then I'd take them to the bank here and ask them to convert them to U.S. and they wouldn't do it.  >:-O   We even went to Toronto for our honeymoon.
