The hunt for millions of counterfeit toonies

  • Résumé

  • We've had an update to one of our most popular episodes -- the counterfeit toonie. Enjoy!

    ---------------------------------

    They call it the "camel-toe toonie", and you will understand why as soon as you look at the front right paw of the polar bear on it. Since they were first discovered in circulation in 2020, estimates range from at least tens of thousands to likely millions of them reaching circulation.

    But who is behind it? How do you counterfeit toonies at scale and get them into the banking system? And ... why toonies?

    GUEST: Brent Mackie, creator of cameltoetoonies.ca, numismatist, treasurer of Waterloo Coin Society
