Selling US pennies as scrap in Canada or anywhere else is illegal and if caught could get you a fine or even some prison time.

It's unlikely that any scrap yard yard in Canada would buy any pennies for scrap unless they're a shady scrap yard and even then if they catch the scrap yard buying the US pennies and scrapping them then it could land back on you as well and you both could end up in trouble.
