Copper content in Canadian Cents?

[Tim (PA)]

Recently began saving pre-1981 US cents... often get Canadian and wondering what years have high copper content?? Which do you save, if any? Thanks

Thank you! Great site, looks like keepers through 1996. Is there a similar site for US coin?

try
http://www.coinfacts.com/

It's not as nicely packaged as the Canadian site but most of the information is there if you click on an individual year of a coin. It shows the "metal content" for each.

You can get both these sites by clicking on my "website" under my avatar. Links are to the upper right on my homepage.

Ive been saving all Canada coins I find....Do to its worth more then a us dollar....
With the Copper aside of course copper is worth more then the face value.

Happy Huntning,
Its just under 1.05 dollars Canada to us dollar.

So 100 dollars is worth 5 dollars more.

Hey It all adds up!!

Happy hunting,
