68 year old Richmond Hill man facing multiple counterfeit money related charges
Police laying the charges after thousands of fake toonies were discovered circulating in Canada since last summer.
RCMP say so far they've seized 10,000 of the phony coins .
Officials suspect there are additional counterfeit coins in the currency system that they believe originated from China.
Police say you can tell if you have a fake toonie by looking at the right front paw of the polar bear on the coin.
The fake bear has a split toe, resembling a claw.
The Bank of Canada says If you suspect that you’ve received a counterfeit note, give it to the local police.
And don’t worry if it's real, you'll get it back .
