🪙 The Big Nickel

SUDBURY, ONTARIO

Quick facts: Height: nine metres · Standing since: 1964 · Value: priceless, and completely unspendable

Nine metres of pocket change has been standing in Sudbury since 1964, which makes the Big Nickel both a landmark and the longest-running piggy bank in the country.

Every Canadian has fumbled a nickel at a till. Nobody has ever fumbled this one. It is, by a comfortable margin, the most valuable coin you will never spend.

If your road trip rolls through Sudbury, the photo stop makes itself. Stand underneath, look up, and feel briefly rich.

Moose Mail verdict: exact change, forever.
