I have found a total of four fake camel toe coins, I gave one to another collector. All four were found roll hunting from bank rolls in Vancouver B.C. this year.

Hey all, I was the person who originally discovered the first 75 coins way back in 2020. I still work at the retail store in York Region.
I haven't seen many of the fakes anymore. I still come across them occasionally but they are definitely rare now. Not like back in the day when there are 5-10 in each cash register nearly every single day

Excellent news, but I believe it is a very light sentence. Hardly worth calling it a deterrence.

I suspect that there was more than 10 times the number reported that actually came to NE Toronto from China at a nickel a coin..

I find it interesting that the fine was paid via electronic ....lolol SLAP on the WRIST! a ^&%* joke. Also of note.......this all went unreported until Mr. McIntosh started digging. He is a good one. Please note the mitigation plan of the RCM. What a joke. They imply it is a GTA Issue...........ummmmmmmm....idiots. |

So far up here in the Great White North I have found 36 camel toes. But they have slowed down.

So if I understand this correctly, the guy serves no jail time, isn't required to reveal his suppliers and gets a 100k penalty after making around 75k. He should have paid back the 80k and then pay a 100k fine. What about our tax money paying for all the work by the RCMP and RCM employees. Edited by denny7000

Seems like collectors could spot these but the general public won't.

"Just when I thought I had a handle on easily picking out the Fake toonies, aka known as cameltoes, the Canadian Coin News magazine reported a very significant new fake. . https://canadiancoinnews.com/new-va...ake-toonie/"much easier to "pick out" than the camel toe version. |

Found this camel toe today out of a roll from Royal Bank in Vancouver, riddled with cracks and a very mottled surface.   |
