Since the early nineties, counterfeiting activity has steadily risen in Canada and internationally as a result of improved and advanced computer technology. The first step in combatting this fraudulent crime is being informed, and using the security measures available to you for protection. The new Canadian currency is equipped with several security measures including raised ink, iridescent pictures, hidden numbers and microfibres. Protect yourself and help take counterfeit bills out of circulation for good!

Place a note under our counterfeit detector and you will easily see the following glow blue: The Bank of Canada coat of arms, the denomination of the bill, the words BANQUE DU CANADA - BANK OF CANADA. Random micro fibres will glow red.
