Production of the penny ceased in May 2012, and the Royal Canadian Mint ceased distribution of them as of February 4, 2013. However, the coin remains legal tender. Nevertheless, once distribution of the coin ceased, vendors were no longer expected to return pennies as change for cash purchases, and were encouraged to round purchases to the nearest five cents. Non-cash transactions are still denominated to the cent.

1967 was the centennial of the Canadian confederation and the government issued a series of commemorative coins to mark the 100th anniversary of Confederation. The penny reverse features a dove in flight.
