Summary

This project was initiated as an assessment of the counterfeiting of Canadian currency. It includes a review of investigations over the past three years (2004-2007) that pertain to counterfeit currency and involve organized crime, significant public impact or financial loss, sophisticated schemes or new trends, and repeat offenders. All references to “counterfeiting” refer solely to currency counterfeiting unless otherwise noted. This project reviewed investigations from across the country. The vast majority of information was collected from the Canadian police community, with other stakeholders such as the Bank of Canada and the private sector contributing valuable insight. The RCMP National Counterfeit Coordinator and all Regional Counterfeit Coordinators were interviewed for this assessment, and assistance was received from the Integrated Counterfeit Enforcement Teams (ICETs) and major municipal police forces.
