Here is a photo of counterfeit $100 dollar notes that are currently circulating.

I think this area is not the same as the real.

The EUrion constellation looks to be off in the counterfeit notes as well as the size of the serial numbers.

I hope the RCMP issues a warning about these fake $20s and that the Bank of Canada accelerates the process to replace the frontiers series ASAP with the new vertical notes featuring King Charles.

WOW from the photo they look pretty real except for the serial numbers

This photo was posted on a Facebook currency group saying they were used in Peterborough, On.

This is very interesting and seems very risky. Losing the EPQ designation has cut the sellers customer base down significantly as I have seen a large number of buyers won't buy altered notes unless super rare. Even getting a higher grade with no EPQ would still impact number of buyers.

Great very informative investigation!  Thank you for doing this!

Just checked the seller's eBay listings and discovered they are also reselling the Devil's Face $1 A/A0000154.

Same makeover, same result.

It's interesting that the seller is based in China.

April 6th coin hunting results:

I was surprised by the rolls of dimes I brought home yesterday.
I managed to get
$1.30 in US coins
One coloured 2021 dime
A Barbados 10 cent coin from 2022
Three 1968 nickel alloy dimes and…
A silver dime dated 1962!

Enjoy!

It looks like that seller has been around for a long time and sells a lot of current banknotes. This makes me wonder if whomever is doing the repairs and resubmitting them for grading is selling the regraded notes to the seller, or if the repairer is someone in-house. My instinct tells me it's the latter, since there probably isn't a huge profit margin. Regardless, I'll make sure never to buy from them. Thanks for the detailed investigative reporting Arthur!
