A touching story from the American Cent Rescue League.

Members of the American Cent Rescue League care about their foreign neighbors as well.
This morning ACRL member "Bill" was walking through the frozen parking lot of his local convenience store when he spotted another customer. The customer stopped, glanced down at the pavement, and then walked to his car and quickly drove away. "Bill" knew immediately that his help was needed to rescue a foreign neighbor.
Walking over to the spot where the other customer had glanced down, "Bill" looked down and spotted the queen, obviously in great distress. Responding at once, "Bill" reached down and picked up the 2004 Canadian cent, rubbed it gently between his gloved fingers, and dropped it into his pocket. Once home, "Bill" gave the queen a gentle bath and deposited her in his growing stash of Canadian coins that he rescued from a fate of corrosion and road burns.
In the near future "Bill" will be making a trip to Canada where he will reunite the queen with her loyal subjects.
Save a cent today, even if it isn't one of our own. Don't be an "ugly American."

All glory is fleeting.
