a question for our Canadian members

I would like to get a single, bank-wrapped roll of cents from Canada. In fact, I would like to get a bank-wrapped roll of the "base" coin from every country I can. With the writing on the roll that shows that it originated from that country. I had a friend who found a plastic roll of Japanese 5-yen coins that got me thinking that would be a fun collection to start. They didn't want to sell. My little sister is going to England next month. I hope she will be able to bring me back a roll of Brit pennies...

Could someone post a picture of what a Canadian roll of cents looks like? Are there different designs?

Exactly like the American penny rolls. Same wrap suppliers, same size.

I may have a Canadian Mint paper wrapped penny roll around somewhere - it is steel, not copper, and several years old. I'll look next time I'm in the storage area.

The RCM roll would be cool, too, despite the composition, haha.

I wondered if the Canadian banks would use the same rollers. Makes sense that they would. I'd still like to get a bank-wrapped Canadian roll, ideally showing heads and tails. Would shipping make those 2 rolls too much?

Anyone else have access to rolls of coin from other countries?
