It is in fantastic condition and has a surface that appears frosted. I've attached some pictures but it might be tough to see the differences. Were there different varieties produced that year? Or could this be from a set that someone took apart and spent? Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 9:34 pm It is one of the fake toonies still going around. You can tell by the two toes on the front right paw like suggested as being suspect, and it is missing the "SB" initials on the queens right shoulder which is also an indicator of being fake.
