That was a hot box! I don't care about A and B lettering orientation. You posted a related short before this video XD. I'm annoyed by the low mintage of the commemoratives because, after a few years, they're pretty much gone.

Man! Sorry about all the fakes! But that old style 2012 was nice. And yes! I do collect both the A and the B orientations for the newer Toonies.. (am I a sucker? -- I guess I can always spend them in a pinch! 😀)

To each their own, I suppose! I know some American collectors who do the same with their $1 coins that have the edge lettering. It's clearly a variety that can be collected, but there's no evidence to support that any one of these varieties is more scarce than the other, so personally I don't feel there's any reason to collect them! But, as you say, if you change your mind, you haven't lost a thing!

Great hunt, James! I think Lighthouse needs to supply you with 2 Toonie Albums. One for regular coins and one for your counterfeits.

You might do well buying those new rolls and trading - and maybe getting the best of them graded. You could find something even higher grade than that, potentially.

@@CADRollHunter Grading is expensive unless you get a reasonable lot size assessed. I've only had paper currency graded( Kitchener). Not sure what a whole roll of toonies would cost to be all graded. With your microscope you could put a MS 65 + on the viewer and show why it's graded at that level. Then put one of you really great coins( same year) on the viewer as a comparison. It would make an interesting five minutes.

One of the members regularly puts in ICCS submissions and gets the best, bulk rate (I believe $10 per coin) - and he'll take it to Toronto and bring it back at no cost (since he's already going for his own submissions. As for the toonies, I'd scope the entire roll and only have the best of the best graded, maybe only a handful will make the cut.

Great hunt! So what do you do with the fakes? When new coins come out I go to my bank and eventually I score a roll or two of the new coin both colorized and plain. This way they are uncirculated as well. Happy hunting!

I believe (and I have no evidence except my own hunts) that these fakes continue to be manufactured and introduced into the coin supply. It's possible there was a bit of a break, but I think they're back at it, in force.

A really great hunt James, the new commemorative, looks awesome, but at the start of the video, you didn't change the coins in the background to the toonies the same with Australian coins aswell we have alot in circulation (only commemorative coins) with the double date but what i find odd is that Australia never released a memorial coin for queen elizabeth 😂

Nice finds James! Have you ever complained at your bank about the fakes?

@CADRollHunter

9 ай бұрын

I haven't complained, per se, but I have brought the fakes back and they've exchanged them. They were more curious than anything. The tellers didn't seem aware there were fakes. I really believe that the almost nobody is actually aware and most would never be able to tell the difference, and so they just circulate. If it gets worse, it's just a matter of time before all of the older toonies get recalled, like they did in the UK with the old 1 Pound coins.

@@Alrik. Me, too. It's possible they might stop doing that at some point. Interstingly, the topic of the fakes came up in a conversation with a coin dealer the other day. He said he didn't care much and that because almost nobody can tell them apart, they're just as good as real money, as far as he was concerned. So, he's certain he's accepting them, and spending them because he can't even tell the difference. That right there is the problem!

That seems to be the concensus. It's big business over there. Apparently there are hundreds (or more) factories pumping out fakes for just about everything.

This number of fakes makes me wonder if at any point Canada will want to demonetise all toonies without security features - you know, like the UK did with brass pound coins. Do you know anything about it?

@CADRollHunter

I've heard nothing from any authorities on this. However, if the problem gets worse (or persists, I suppose, considering I think it's already really bad with millions of fakes likely in circulation), demonitization of the older toonies will be inevitable.

Why aren’t the banks doing a better job of weeding out these fake toonies!? Presumably you bought the box from a bank, so why don’t they remove the fakes from circulation, this doesn’t help public confidence in the money supply if that many are out there.
