Wrong with the Note

No such errors have ever been recorded.  There have been mis-registered, off center print and there have been inverted printing but there never have been both.

The paper is too thin.  It looks almost transparent.  It looks like these notes were printed using a printing press the paper is not correct.

The notes are missing planchets.  These are the small circular dots which are randomly placed on the paper before printing.  There are usually at least 2 per note.  They can be scratched off to check if the note is real.  These notes are clean and have none.

The 2 dollar War of 1812 HMS Shannon was released by the RCM to commemorate the 200 year anniversary of the War of 1812.  The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain.  It was instrumental in establishing the British colonial territory that would later become the Dominion of Canada.

This is the second 2 dollar coin released by the mint to incorporate the mints new security features.  The obverse of the coin features two maple leaves on the top rim which are only visible with the coin is shifted side to side.  The bottom of the rim also has two maple leaves which are laser etched.  The value of the coin has been moved to the obverse to make more room for the pictorial of the HMS Shannon.

With the introduction of the new security features the mint has begun striking the collar of the $2 coin with the words "CANADA 2 DOLLARS" and two small maple leaves.  The collar strike has created two varieties of all new toonies.  The collar text can be oriented towards either the obverse or reverse of the coin.  Both of the new 2012 regular toonie and the War of 1812 Shannon toonie have been confirmed to have the two varieties.

With a mintage of 5,000,000 this coin has a lower mintage than other commemorative toonies that have been released.  Matched only by the 2011 Boreal Forest which also had a mintage of 5,000,000.

Canada's northern regional claim has been disputed in recent years by the United States (Alaska), Russia, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway.  The legal status of the Northwest Passage is disputed: Canada considers it to be part of its internal waters according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.  Any navigation through the Northwest Passage will take ships through Canadian territorial waters between northern arctic islands.  The United States and other nations consider it an international strait and have right of passage.  Since 2007 with the melting of the Arctic shelf this water way has become fully navigable.
