2$ 1996 need opinion
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to hear any thoughts from you if what can you observe for this coin, l did not examine yet but it seems like there is something unusual for this coin.
It weigh 7.15 gr.
Any thoughts would be really much appreciated!..

It's a fake. Look at the bear toes and then do an archive search on here that tells all about them.

This is what l thought l just got this change in convince store yesterday though, l live in Edmonton alberta any suggestion should l report this to RCMP? I know someone posted a linked about this kind before to this forum. And also the BT initials in reverse wasn't there..

It might be a good idea to let the police know about them being in your city now as mentioned in earlier post they are uncommon in the West. It would be a heads up for police and stores to keep a sharp eye open for them. The right foot on the bear is a dead give away for theses fakes
