Pennies are a type of coinage that were minted between 1858 and 2012 for use in the Province of Canada, and later in Canada. Each coin is worth one cent, or 1⁄100 of a dollar. While the official term for the coin is one-cent piece, the terms penny and cent predominate likely due to their English origin. Like all Canadian coins, the obverse depicts the reigning Canadian monarch at the time of issue.
