I'm in too high a bracket to be getting any rebate. :-(
The composition of current Canadian coins is as follows: 1 cent: 94% steel 1.5% nickel 4.5% copper plating 5 cent: 94.5%...
The 1943 cents were zinc plated steel, not copper plated steel, which is being proposed now. There were two problems with the '43 cent: the color...
