Port Colborne, ON INCO Pure Nickel Token

Port Colborne, ON INCO Pure Nickel Token

This commemorative token honors INCO (International Nickel Company of Canada), once the world's leading producer of nickel throughout much of the 20th century. INCO played a pivotal role in the global nickel industry, with its operations spanning numerous countries. In October 2006, INCO was acquired by the Brazilian mining giant Vale for $19.4 billion, marking the end of its era as an independent company. Today, INCO operates as a subsidiary under the name Vale Canada Limited. This token serves as a lasting tribute to the company's significant impact on Canada's mining industry and its international influence.
