I had already found the BWJM website, but just wanted to confirm there is only 7 years, (not worried about varieties).
When I asked the question of AI, it told me every year from 1996 - 2012 and then 2018.
So I think I am only missing 2010 now.

There exist some 2018 fakes, but they are a different variety and (so far) exceedingly rare with hardly any examples known. They will eventually be added to my website. They are not considered to be part of the Camel Toe series.
For Camel Toe Toonies, there are eight varieties: 1996, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 (all common), 2007 (tough), 2010 (tougher) and 2005A (rare). See the website for details. Within each of those varieties are a slew of different errors such as die cracks, clashes, etc.

Sorry I no longer own this one as I traded it away to nickelsguy. It's been referred to as a repaired camel toe. I have seen two of these in hand. These are pics I kept before I traded the coin. Here's the rim against a black 2022.  |

Pretty elusive mcshilling, I got this one December 2024 and I hunt through 200+ toonies every weekend and haven't found another. The other one I saw was owned by someone else.

Out of curioisty, has the Canadian government take any concrete action on this counterfeit twoonies and loonies?
I thought they finally solved this issue by making them more secure?

No, neither the federal government nor the Mint has taken any concrete (or at least apparent to the public) action on this matter.
The upgrade in security in 2012 certainly helped, but without withdrawing the older coins, it certainly did nothing to prevent the tidal wave of Camel Toe Toonies that came out 10 years after that.

But by creating a website for counterfeit toonies, aren't you guys all breaking the law. You are not supposed to even have in your possession any counterfeit toonies. I thought that you had to work with law enforcement to justify you even having them in your hand. Now nicklesguy and KoATT DID have permission to have them to educate folks about what's illegal and what's not, and how to identify. And they also had permission to have an "inside" at ebay so they could contact them to remove auctions with the fakes. Do you work in that capacity? |

@okiecorner, I'm under the impression that one can possess counterfeit coins if received in change, but can't knowingly spend counterfeit coins. I certainly hope this is the case, because I have kept every counterfeit coin I've found, but haven't spent any.

I believe intent goes a long way to justify your ability to hold them, at least for getting an acquittal.  (I am not a lawyer, YMMV) |

It is illegal to knowingly own a counterfeit coin in Canada.
