It all depends on the year and condition of the CENT.  Varieties and errors also affect the value. Most modern are worth 1 cent while others can be worth in the hundreds of dollars. Do you have any examples with pictures you can show us.

  Canada issued "large" (larger than quarter) size cents from 1858-1920 and small cents from 1920-2012. They were mostly mass produced. As I recall, among cents that would have been taken from circulation, only coins dated 1922, 23, 24, and 25 are worth significant premiums (a few dollars or more).  Full red uncirculated coins may be valuable if they grade high enough, as can some special issues such as proofs, errors, and varieties.  

   Check your coins on the NGC World Coin Price Guide, which can be found by going to the NGC home page (www.ngccoin.com) and going to "Price Guides" under the "Resources" tab at the top of the page.

Canadian large cents are a fun series to collect. They showed up a lot in auction bulk lots.
