It is claimed that one can differentiate counterfeit $2 coins, known as toonies, from genuine ones circulating in Canada by examining the size of the Queen's portrait.

An example of this claim was collected via email in April 2010, warning individuals about the existence of fake toonies in circulation.

The authenticity of a toonie can be suspected by comparing it to a known geneine coin.
