Not very long. I'd get those jars of pennies to your bank pronto.
Or better yet, pay the 15% commission and take them to one of those coin machines at safeway or wherever they have them.
They will remain legal tender forever and stores should still accept them as payment. Now, whether or not that will happen in practice is another question.

If the final total ends in a 1 or 2, it gets rounded down to the 0.

If the final total ends in a 6 or 7, it gets rounded down to the 5.
If the final total ends in an 8 or 9, it gets rounded up to the 0.
If the final total ends in a 0 or 5, no rounding is required.
If you're that worried about getting screwed by the rounding, just pay everything with your debit or credit card and you'll pay to the nearest cent.

I would hold onto the older ones. The copper content already makes 1996 and earlier ones worth at least two cents.
Is it illegal to melt or deface Canadian coins?
The Currency Act and The Canadian Criminal Code clearly state that no person shall melt down, break up or use otherwise than as currency any coin that is legal tender in Canada.
Guaranteed the government will keep pennies legal currency, so they get them back as they leave circulation and get to melt them down themselves.
You don't need to find someone with a smelter capable of melting copper to drive over the speed limit. The consequences of getting caught speeding are also considerably lower than the consequences of getting caught melting down currency.

You could have save a lot of typing by saying round everything to the nearest nickel.
While we're at it making things more efficient, can we also get the goddamned tax included in the list price like just about every other civilized country on the planet?
Displaying the cost without tax is beneficial if I don't have to pay the tax. Unfortunately, I ALWAYS HAVE TO PAY THE TAX!
Goddamnit.

It's not illegal to melt down Canadian coins in other countries (China, US, etc)
