The penny may be out of circulation, but it still has value, and could benefit Alberta youngsters.
From March 11-24, TD Canada Trust locations across the province will be collecting the one-cent pieces in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton and the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary.
Bank patrons are encouraged to bring in their pennies to support the cause; the coins need not be rolled. All donated funds will stay in the province.
