Sheet music and lyrics are also included. A portion of proceeds are contributed to the IWK Health Centre Foundation.〔"These Hands", ''Time Well Spent Publishing''. () Access date: January 5, 2014.〕 == Issues with Royal Canadian Mint over artwork == The Canadian penny is heavily featured within the album's artwork. The back cover includes a penny setting into the horizon and the inner image of the package showcases an old-fashioned steam locomotive with pennies for wheels. After an initial pressing of 2000 copies of ''No More Pennies'', the Royal Canadian Mint notified Gunning that he must pay $1,200 for usage rights of the penny image. Gunning responded by initiating a penny drive to help pay the fee. The story received coverage from significant print and online news outlets, including The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Sun and The Huffington Post. Eventually the Royal Canadian Mint waived the royalty. Gunning's penny drive raised $6,287.66 which was donated to the IWK Health Centre in Halifax. Gunning will not have to pay fees for use of the penny image for any subsequent pressings of the album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No More Pennies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
