POOR QUALITY COUNTERFEIT FOUND

The first counterfeits of Canada's latest anti-forgery bank notes have surfaced near Toronto.

The OPP says two $100 bills were found in Huntsville and Peel Region.

The notes were apparently computer-printed and had the same serial number. Police say the bills were poorly done with fake metallic security strips that didn't change colour and a watermark image of former prime minister Robert Borden's face was missing.
