I think I found fake? 2 dollars coin today. Is it worth anything? Since I have not much interest in modern coins, should I keep it? Thanks

Unfortunately it's illegal to own counterfeits in Canada. There's a member here called SPP-Ottawa who looks at these, you can try contacting him.

If it is a fake, you're not allowed to own it. We'd love to know why you think it's counterfeit and see some photos. There are some great counterfeit experts on this forum.

I do accept them. I test them with the XRF at work, and then send them to the RCMP lab here in Ottawa. Eventually, when I have a good statistical dataset (at least 28 samples or more), I anticipate writing a scientific paper with the RCMP lab specialist. Ask the moderators here to allow you to send me a personal message.

On the topic of owning counterfeits, I once had to turn in an early loonie fake (with the detached bill), but now that I don't live in Canada, could I own one, or is simply owning a Can fake illegal?

I don't think you have to worry about one toonie in Germany.
