Newfoundland Penny

I remember seeing a couple of these when I was a kid. No, I am not that old, but Mom and Dad must have had a couple. Newfoundland had its own currency before it joined Canada in 1949.

Corner Brook Coin

In 1981 the city of Corner Brook issued these commemorative coins. Corner Brook was the city closest to my hometown, just 50 kilometres away. We had a few of these coins around the house.

Money Tin

My parents had a money tin/box almost exactly like this one on the dresser in their bedroom. I think it may have been black and red with no gold on it but I am not sure. It was always filled with change for the paper boy and for our recess money and I think they kept a small amount of paper money in the bottom.
