The wild hog has long been a symbol of Bermuda. Legend has it that Spanish explorers found the island but - seeing the cloven footprints of hogs thought they were inhabited by the Devil and fled.
Hogs have been on Bermudian currency for nearly 400 years, originally because of the large number of wild hogs that were living on the islands when settlers first arrived.
Yes. Currency of Bermuda
If a coin has the name of the island of Bermuda (note - with an E, just like it's spelled on the coin) on it, how could it also be from Canada? In any case it's an ordinary circulation coin worth one cent.
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.
The 1973 penny with a pig on it is a novelty coin and not minted by the United States Mint for circulation. It doesn't hold any significant monetary value, but it may be of interest to collectors or enthusiasts of novelty coins.
Please take another look and post a new question. Canadian cents have a maple leaf design. You may have a Bermuda "hog penny".
This question has already been posted. It's from Bermuda (as stated on the coin!) and is worth about 1 cent U.S. Notes: > There is a specific category for Coins and Currency that makes it much easier to find numismatic questions. This really doesn't have anything to do with checking accounts. > Coins are said to be struck or minted rather than stamped. I don't know why, that's just what's done.
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.
A one-cent penny with a pig on the back is likely referring to the 1909-S V.D.B. penny, which features the design by Victor David Brenner and can fetch a high value among collectors due to its rarity. However, if you're referring specifically to a penny with a pig design, such as a novelty or commemorative coin, its value may vary widely depending on its condition and demand. Generally, most common pennies are worth their face value, while rare or unique coins can be worth significantly more. Always consult a coin expert or collector for an accurate appraisal.

Sorry, but Canada hasn't issued a penny with a pig on it. The 1988 penny has the Queen on one side and maple leafs on the reverse. Bermuda issued a penny with a pig, so you likely ended up with one of them as your change.
