This is going to be a short Friday Free Find. Found this one at a Coinstar machine at the local grocery store. As I always say, check those return slots for coins because sometimes they can be goldmines, literally. Not quite sure why the machine didn't take this coin, but at least I profited from the transaction!
Finding King George VI pennies in circulation, in Canada, is like finding a wheat cent in the US. They are not very common anymore, but you will still find the odd KGVI in you change sometimes. In Michigan, you will find that these are actually more prevalent than in Canadian circulation. Most Americans tend to ignore Canadian coins, and I've found a few of these in my change over the years.
Enjoy!
