I got a little too excited when I saw the back.

I am not sure exactly what a flying eagle cent looks like but when I saw that bird I got excited. But then found out it was a bicentennial Canadian Penny

I thought this was really interesting though. Never really knew they had bicentennial pennies there.

That's what keeps many of us running.

 

That's a centennial penny. 100 years.

 

I'm just barely old enough to remember these showing up in change -- in Maryland, along the interstate, we did see Canadian coins fairly frequently. I also remember the fish dimes.

 

Maybe someday you will find one.
Thanks for sharing.
