Canada Mints Nation’s Last Penny

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty holds the last penny struck in Canada at the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg, Manitoba, today. Flaherty announced in the March budget that the coin would no longer be produced because the cost of making it is more than it’s worth. He has estimated that the government will save $11 million a year. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, John Woods)
