Ontario Provincial Police are warning businesses of some counterfeit toonies that were found at a store in Hawkesbury.
Officers were called to the store on Regent Street at around 11 a.m. Tuesday because someone had used counterfeit coins to buy things.
A photo shared by police shows the coins have the same coloration as real toonies, but a cursory glance reveals they're anything but. They have a walrus on one side instead of a polar bear, and are stamped as being worth "Z DOLLARD". The image purporting to be of Queen Elizabeth II is also incorrect. It appears to be a grumpy old man. The coins are also dated 1990, when the first real toonies weren't in circulation until 1996.
