In January, OPP issued a warning about fake $2 coins located at a store in the Town of Hawkesbury.
In that incident, the coins had “Z DOLLARD” on one side of the coin and featured images of a seal and a man’s head instead of Queen Elizabeth II on the “heads” side and a polar bear on the “tails” side, respectively.
