cladhunter13 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I purchased 2 boxes of pennies from a local bank today. I did not open the boxes before I returned home as I deal with this bank regularly and have never had a issue with them. When I got home I noticed that one of the boxes I got was sealed with the RCM paper seal still intact. I opened it up and sure enough...50 rolls of 2010 cents in the clear mint wraps. Not what I wanted as I was looking for rolls for Coin roll hunting. Ahh well I thought. I checked each roll with a magnet. No Magnetic Coins. Sigh! Is there any other errors, varieties or whatever that I should look for with 2010 Canada cents? If Not I will leave them sealed and keep a few rolls for myself and return them for a different box on Saturday. Thank you for any info. cladhunter13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for any info. cladhunter13 Hi Clad Hunter As far as I know, from what the Mint has put out info wise, all 1 cent coins are suppose to be made from steel planchets. THe mint says they changed to a steel cent ( 94% steel, 1.5% nickle, 4.5% copper plated zinc) in 2000. But there are relatively few coins that are metal the first couple of years & then most pennies were coming out made of steel. But I keep reading in the Coin News, of people finding copper plated zinc cents (non magnetic) right up until recently. Today I see your post & you say you have a box of nonmagnetic 2010's. This is the first I've heard of that for 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
