No national government has ever issued wooden nickels. They are usually from businesses, occasionally from a community, and are an advertisement. They have also been "issued" by political candidates, but these do not have a monetary value except as a collectable.

Canada has never issued a Halfpenny or half cent coin since Confederation.

Prior to Confederation, any Halfpenny coins circulating in what was to become Canada would have been British Halfpennies. British coins do not have the country name on them.

Until Confederation, private banks such as the Bank of Upper Canada and the Bank of Montreal, issued their own coins and some of the provinces such as New Brunswick and Nova Scotia issued their own coins. All of these coins will indicate the origin of the coin.
