This type, struck at Ottawa and Winnipeg 1990-96, is common in all grades. The Canadian small cent was introduced at 3.24 g in 1920 and remained at that specification until it was reduced to 2.8 g in 1980. It was reduced again in 1982, to 2.5 g. It was reduced again to 2.25 g in 1997 and converted to copper plated steel. The production of cents was suspended entirely in 2012 to little outcry.
