I was going through my coin jar and found two Canadian pennies (I'm in the U.S.).

The top/left one is from 1995 and the lower/right one is 2010. I get why they aged her up, but she's still alive and still technically their queen. Where'd her crown go?

Did Canada decide to stop honoring the monarchy in a really half-assed way or something?

No idea.

We don't even have pennies here anymore. They got rid of them almost 10 years ago.

I had a penny collection at one point. Was very small. Should have kept it.

And took the Queen's crown as one final f-you to the penny, I guess. XD

The penny on the right is the newer design. I guess she doesn't wear the crown in her old age? The one on the left is the previous design. And the one before that one has her with a crown but I think it sits flat rather than on an angle. And then the one from way back (60s?) has her with a younger hairdo. And then before that is whoever was the King (I think it was George?).

The one with the crown she was way younger. She rarely wears the crown anymore so they just switched it to how she looked at the time.

As someone else pointed out though no more pennies in Canada.

The Queen still wears the crown on the British pound. They'd know how she usually dresses better than the Canadians would. lol

Okay, yeah, like so? I'm either going to dump them into a purchase that uses pennies or save them until they're rare enough to be worth something (probably circa 4550 CE, when they'll be worth 3). I'm just interested in the Queen's hat.
