Bogus bills are back in circulation so beware gŏđŏ editionap.ca
That C-note in the wallet may not be the real deal. The OPP issued a warning that counterfeit $100 bills have started to show up again in Eastern Ontario. All paper currency in Canada includes features to show that it is authentic. The current design for the $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills also include features that make it very difficult, if not impossible, to counter- feit but that does not stop some criminals from trying to find ways to do so. The OPP alert concerns the older issue of $100 bills that are still in circulation. These ones can be counterfeited but there are still ways to detect a fake. The current crop of
counterfeit currency all have the same sets of serial numbers repeating on each copy of the bogus bills. Anyone concerned about any $100 bills they have should take the money to the nearest bank, credit union or Caisse popu- laire for examination and report to the po- lice any counterfeits detected. Polymer paper The current version of Canadian currency uses polymer instead of paper. This makes for a more long-lasting bill, reduces the amount and expense of printing currency for the federal government, and also pre- vents most counterfeiters from just using a
regular copy machine to run off fakes. The polymer bill also has other features embed- ded in the plastic to foil high-tech counter- feiters. The newer currencies also have a variety of other features to help detect real bills from fake ones. A real bill has raised ink, ob- vious to finger touch, on the large numbers, the shoulders of the large portraits of the Queen or the prime ministers, and on the words «Bank of Canada» and «Banque du Canada». The large window containing the portrait and a building should have transparency. Also tilting the bank note should reveal co- lour changes in the building picture. Scat- tered through the window transparency should be the same denomination numbers as are present in larger size on the main part of the bill. Some of these little numbers may also appear backwards. Some of the maple leaves bordering the large window should also cross over into the window. The frosted maple leaf window on the bill should have a transparent outline. Hold- ing the bill over or in front of a strong light should also reveal hidden numbers in a cir- cle showing the bill’s denomination. The older currencies still in circulation also have several hidden features that help show they are not counterfeit. These features can be seen when the bill is held up against a strong light. They include a vertical bar on the right-hand side of the obverse side, which has a large portrait of the queen or a prime minister on the left side. Also revealed in the light on the right- hand side is a smaller portrait hidden in the weave of the paper. On the old $20 bill this hidden portrait is of Queen Elizabeth II. Certains résidents de Clarence-Rockland ont possiblement reçu un appel d’une per- sonne proposant la mise à niveau de votre système de chauffage par l’installation d’un nouveau thermostat. Il ne s’agit pas d’une fraude, mais plutôt d’une offre d’achat d’un thermostat intel- ligent de la part d’une compagnie dont le nom sera tu. Contrairement à ce que le ven- deur pourrait laisser entendre, il ne s’agit pas d’une mise à niveau obligatoire de votre système de chauffage. Certaines per- sonnes ont d’ailleurs déploré avoir entendu cette affirmation. De plus, le thermostat n’est pas offert gra- tuitement. Plutôt, des frais seront appliqués sur votre facture de chauffage chaque mois. Il faut également savoir que cette com- pagnie n’est pas rattachée à Hydro One ou votre distributeur de gaz. De fait, Hydro One n’utilise jamais la sollicitation par télé- phone pour joindre des clients et n’effectue pas de vente par téléphone. Si un vendeur se présente à votre porte affirmant être un représentant d’Hydro One, ou si vous soupçonnez une fraude, contactez le Centre antifraude du Canada en composant le 1 888 495-8501. Les gens devraient exiger et lire tout contrat de vente ou entente. On vous offre un thermostat? MARTIN BRUNETTE MARTIN.BRUNETTE@EAP.ON.CA
Thenewversionof theCanadian$100bill has special features to make it difficult, if not impossible, for counterfeiters to mimic. But the older currency still in circulation can still be duplicated.
