The influx of phony $100 bills was having a major impact on the Canadian economy. The amount of counterfeit bills seized totalled $1.4 million. The RCMP started an investigation into the counterfeit currency in the summer of 2021 after the Royal Canadian Mint identified fake toonies through its random sampling process.
