A study by the Desjardins Groups notes Canadians could be hoarding several billion pennies, along with other coins. "Free your pennies from their prisons at home, and those jars they're in, and give them to charity," said Flaherty. By some estimates, this move could potentially bring in some $5 billion for charities. UrbanPromise would love to receive a piece of that $5 billion pie so please feel free to liberate your coins in our direction!
