 Penny (Canadian coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penny was likely readily adopted because the previous coinage in Canada (up to 1858) was the British monetary system, where Canada used British pounds and pence as coinage.
In Canadian French, the penny is also called a cent, which is spelled the same way as the French word for "hundred" but is pronounced (and occasionally spelled) cenne.
The current coin has a round, smooth edge, and this has been the case for most of its history; however, from 1982 to 1996, the coin was twelve-sided.
