View submission: Scammers have sunk even lower. How absolutely disgusting.
Uh, Banks still accept pennies in Canada and you can still pay for stuff with pennies. They're just no longer handed out.

If Iām paying a bill at my bank, can I use pennies?
Yes
Can I still bring pennies into the bank to deposit?
Yes, financial institutions continue to allow customers to redeem or deposit their pennies as long as they are rolled or wrapped for deposit.
How long will I have to bring in my pennies for deposit?
Pennies continue to retain their value indefinitely, so there is no time limit on when pennies can be deposited.

Ah! My apologies! I'd thought they'd stopped accepting it as of 2015, as the former business I'd worked for had refused it all across the country, and even my local bank branch wouldn't accept it, even if it was rolled.
I'll edit my reply to reflect this! I look pretty foolish now, but thankfully it was only a few cents at a time š. Thank you for the sources.
