After years of collecting US wheat cents via coin roll hunting, I've also been saving most of the Canadian cents I find. I finally acquired enough of them that I decided to buy a Whitman coin folder for Canadian cents and am now attempting to fill it. One thing has me confused though. For more recent years, the book has two slots per year (one for the year and the other for the year-P.....example 2008,2008-P,2009,2009-P etc. What confusing is I can't seem to find any "P" coins after 2006. After doing some research on the Internet I found that they stopped putting the "P" mint mark on cents after 2006. So why does the coin folder show "P" slots after 2006? Is there some other mark on the coins for these years that has replaced the "P"? In other words, are there really still two different coins for each year after 2006? Or is it possible the Whitman books were produced prior to 2006 before they dropped the "P"? Is there anyone out there with expertise on Canadian cents that could help me figure this out? Thanks.
After the switch to the RCM logo as a mint mark, Canada kept making magnetic and non-magnetic cents, both with the logo. The easiest way to tell them apart is to use a magnet. The book just kept using the no mark/P notation for whatever reason. Note that there aren't any 2008-L non-magnetic cents (2008 in your book).
