Ontario Provincial Police are warning people to check their pocket change for fake toonies adorned by a strange-looking figurehead and inscribed with a bizarre typo. According to the OPP, someone went to a Regent Street store in Hawkesbury, Ont., on Jan. 11 and used fake two-dollar coins. OPP in Hawkesbury say they've been alerted to fake toonies that were used at a store earlier this week. (OPP)Instead of saying "2 dollars" on the tails side, the fake coins say "Z dollard." Gray wouldn't say whether they believe more of the fake toonies are out there, but officers are looking for camera footage that may have filmed someone passing off the coins as legitimate.
