Fake toonies discovered in Hawkesbury, Ont.

By WNews 1 Min Read

Ontario Provincial Police are warning people to check their pocket change for fake toonies adorned by a strange-looking figurehead and inscribed with a bizarre typo.

According to the OPP, someone went to a Regent Street store in Hawkesbury, Ont., on Jan. 11 and used fake two-dollar coins. 

Police were alerted once the coins were determined as fake.

“At a glance, they absolutely look like a toonie,” said Const. Kenneth Gray on Wednesday. “You just have to look at them carefully.”

Police shared a picture of the sham currency, which shows a walrus on one side and an inaccurate portrait of Queen Elizabeth on the other.
