The Government is warning people to be on the lookout for counterfeit $100 polymer bills. A man passed two of them in a British Columbia store earlier in May and since then others have appeared. The RCMP is starting to worry that Canadians have grown over-confident in the new bank notes. But, even though there is an outbreak of counterfeiting, the number of phony polymer bills per million is only about 25. At the peak of counterfeiting in Canada post 2000, there were more than 450 bogus bills in circulation for every million bank notes.
