From 1858 to 1907, Canadian coins were struck at mints in England. The first Canadian-produced penny dates from 1908, when the Ottawa branch of the British Royal Mint opened.
Production of the penny ceased in May 2012, and the Royal Canadian Mint ceased distribution as of February 4, 2013. The coin remains legal tender. 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.
