Canadian Pennies

[dmaki1988]

Hello i had a question or two about are neighbors to the north, i herd that Canada stopped production of the penny. well I'm a penny saver and i live in the U.P and i get a lot of Canadian coins found in circulation. i was just wondering if it was legal to actually melt them now.

Was it ever illegal to melt foreign coins in the United States?
