@ JB-2005: That was the source of the question as to how the alleged "error" occurred.

@ Skylark: Check the actual legislation.  Your reference isn't entirely accurate.  It is merely what the police and the Bank of Canada WANT you to do.

    • a current bank note; or
    • an obligation or a security of a government or bank.
  • Subsection (1) does not apply to
    • the Bank of Canada or its employees when they are carrying out their duties;
    • the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) or its members or employees when they are carrying out their duties; or
