Back in 1945 the cost of these was (ref. http://www.mapleleafup.nl/g104/cost.htm):
  • M4A2(76)HVSS/T66 $48,029
  • M4A2(76)HVSS/T80 $50,928

I guess it was cheaper to give them away for an adminstrative cost than to scrap them. It was the second time the Canadian army bought surplus tanks off the USA on the cheap.
