Pennies from heaven

Macro Mondays theme "Contained"

Pennies spilling out of a small glass jar.

 

Canada stopped making pennies in 2013 because even though they had not contained any copper in a long time, there was still a cost of 1.6 cents to make each 1 cent coin. Even though they are still legal tender officially, businesses have no legal obligation to accept them. And so they don't. And so I have a jar of them.
