    The phasing out of the penny seemed like such a (surprisingly) smooth societal transition in Canada, to me at least. This is a gorgeous coin - the red squirrel one - I’m surprised it’s actually used as 2p and not a special collectible coin instead

      I’m hoping it looks as good IRL. I’ve not been using cash much recently but will try to get hold of these. They do look like special issues but are supposedly the regular ones (the current coins aren’t anywhere near as fancy).
