Goodbye Penny!

The Federal Canadian Government stopped distributing pennies on Monday, February 4, 2013. That was yesterday! That means from now on, no new pennies will be given to Canadians. The Royal Canadian Mint stopped making pennies last year.

Let's watch these videos together that will provide more information about this Canadian event!
