Denominations of these counterfeit bills have ranged from $5 to $100 in both US dollars and Canadian dollars. Four of these investigations have been cleared by way of charges.
The significant rise in the number of counterfeit currency investigations from previous years has prompted Huron OPP to organize an educational seminar led by subject matter experts from the Bank of Canada and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
