You still can get into the Canadian coins. We are in Oregon and get a lot of Canadian from coin counters. Also coins shop have some of them in the junk bins. Also you can trade with the Canadian members of this group. We have folders and albums for Canadian 1,5,10,25 cent coins.

And here is the story of the New Brunswick 1861 half cent from The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins:

This denomination was not required by the province since its dollar and hence British coins went at a different rating than in the sister province of Nova Scotia. Nevertheless, the Royal Mint became confused and struck a half cent for New Brunswick. Over 200,000 of these coins came off the presses before the error was discovered. Most of the mintage was returned to the melting pot. The circulation strikes that survived are thought to have become mixed with the Nova Scotia half cents and sent to Halifax.
The obverse is that of the British farthing and the reverse is a royal crown and a rose/mayflower wreath very similar to that used for Nova Scotia.
