2006 – 1 Cent Canada – Non Magnetic – RCM Logo

The 2006 Canadian 1 cent coin with the Non Magnetic MRC (Royal Canadian Mint) Logo is a circulation coin minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in a copper-plated zinc composition, making it non-magnetic. It weighs 2.25 grams, has a diameter of 19.05 mm, and a plain smooth edge. The coin features an uncrowned bust of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, designed by Susanna Blunt, with the inscription “ELIZABETH II D – G – REGINA.” The reverse depicts two maple leaves on the same twig, a design by G. E. Kruger-Gray that dates back to 1937 and remains iconic. This variety is identified by the presence of the Royal Canadian Mint logo under the bust and is common, with a mintage of 176 million pieces. The magnetic property is absent due to the copper-plated zinc planchet used.
