Does anyone know if Canadian cents have any metal value ? If so , what and from what years ?

Canadian cents were 95% to 98% copper right up until 1997 when the went to copper plated zinc and then to copper plated steel. I'm sure the copper is worth a bit more than a cent.

A quick look at the Charlton Standard Catalog shows they are 95% copper (at least) thru 1996.

On CCRS website, I heard that the actual melt value for a Canadian copper cent is 2 cents.

Those people over on the CCRS are a bunch of Canucks, so what do they know?

Their Capital's hockey team can't even win at home.

GO SABRES!

CCRS click on the Discussion on the drop down menu.

The best site for Canadian coin discussions.
