Was given to you in change or was it on the ground?

 

In the take a coin, leave a coin tray

 

Oh wow.... I clicked on the picture expecting to see a modern cent. That is way cool.

 

So, I took it and left a US cent

 

99 years old. That is kewl !!

 

Free slurpee

 

So did I. I read the thread title expecting a common Canadian cent since I get at least one a month in change even down here in the south. Pleasantly surprised to see a second-to-last-year-of-issue large cent!

 

You know those northerners always have to come down here and try to figure out why us southern folk have it so good!

 

Wow a Canada Lg. Cent!

Not what I was expecting to see. These aren't easily mistaken for a US cent so it kinda makes you wonder how it got in a 7-11 give a penny take a penny tray.

 

Nice one Frank, I am always raiding the leave a penny holder.

 

Silly boy leaving money on the table like that....

 

well, they were looking!

 

I'd have to leave more than a penny for a large cent. Maybe a nickel and a penny.

 

I haven't even seen a Canadian cent since I left New England in 1974. I did, however, get a very nice Canadian quarter in a Coinstar the other week. I don't remember where I put it, so I don't remember the year... mid sixties I think. No telling how that ever made it to Baton Rouge.

 

Mid 60's should be 80% silver.

 

Maybe I'll remember where I put it someday, but it's not where I thought it might have been put.

 

Congrats on your find. Here in the South we get stuck with Canadian coins because the stores won't take them back when you make a purchase. Lucky us ?

 

Nice find. Being close to the Canadian border, I get Canadian coins in change all of the time, but nothing that old.

 

He knew it's better in Louisiana so he just started hitch hiking!
