Since the Bermuda Dollar is nearly at par with the US Dollar, as of 2008, then I'd expect the Bermuda Hog Penny to be about equal to one US Cent. James C. Starbird These coins were minted in the Sommer Islands (now known as Burmuda) about 1616. There are twopence, threepence, sixpence, and shilling coins. They are valued from around $2000 to $10,000, depending on the denomination and condition. The threepence piece is very rare and can bring very near $100,000.
It's the same size as a US cent with a picture of a wild hog, the date, and the words ONE CENT. Please see the link below for an image.
One Bermuda cent. I assume that you didn't look at the rest of the coin to see what country it came from. Bermuda's cents carry an image of a hog.
Don't assume that every 1-cent coin with the Queen's image on it is from Canada. You're describing a so-called "hog penny" issued by Bermuda. It's only worth 1 cent and has the name Bermuda on it, not Canada.
Pigs were the only food on the island of Bermuda when the island was first settled by the English. The pig was also shown on the original money issued by the settlers.
Please take another look and post a new question. Canadian cents have a maple leaf design. You may have a Bermuda "hog penny".
It's just a penny, letters or numbers added to any coin kills the collectible value of the coin.
It seems if the penny were real lucky, you wouldn't have to ask.

i have a a canadian penny from the 1970 with a pig on it __ Canada hasn't issued a penny with a pig on it. Canadian pennies have the Queen on one side and maple leafs on the reverse. You likely got a Bermuda penny in your change.
More information is needed - is it a cent, dime, what denomination? How worn is it?
Hog Nosed Bats lives in Thailand, but they are on the verge of extinction. They're about the size of a bumblebee and weigh less than a penny. Another name for the Hog Nose Bat is the Bumblebee Bat.
