Which cities use the Paper Penny?

None, and this page exists so that answer is always public and current. The Paper Penny is a proposed community voucher program. No city has adopted it, no vouchers are printed, and nothing is in circulation anywhere in Canada. One city appears on PennyMap today: Owen Sound, Ontario, marked as the proposed first pilot. "Proposed" means exactly that: an idea placed before a community, with no approval, no endorsement by the City of Owen Sound, and no launch date.

While many program maps blur the line between what is planned and what is real, PennyMap uses ink to show the difference. Each pin has one of three statuses: proposed pilot, exploring, or vision. Currently, the map shows one proposed pilot and eight vision pins. If that changes, this page will change on the same day.

Why publish a map of nothing? Because a community voucher only works on trust, and trust starts with never overstating adoption. The Paper Penny is not legal tender and not a Royal Canadian Mint product; it would live or die on voluntary agreement between neighbours and local businesses. The honest count of participating cities is zero, and we would rather rank for the true answer than the flattering one.
