Stumbled across these stat sheets of the RCMP on Counterfeit Currency I thought others may find interesting:

It turns out that 2024 saw the most counterfeit $5 bills in a single year.  Counterfeit $5 bills never saw such high numbers before, it seems.

These are the notes that the RCMP confiscated prior to them going into circulation.  I'll do so research soon to see if I can find the numbers on the counterfeits that are being turned in to local law enforcement like Toronto Police, York Region, etc.
