BANK OF CANADA CURRENCY MUSEUM GIVES OUT FREE SAMPLES

"Someone has helped themselves to a few choice specimens from the
Bank of Canada's currency museum, newly released documents show.
Red-faced bank officials are short about $16,700 following the
unsolved theft at the central bank's popular tourist attraction.
The missing money came not from the display cases, but disappeared
from a stash of cash the museum uses to help teach visitors about
counterfeit currency. The so-called note exchange program allowed
patrons to swap their old-style bills for new-series money with
special security features designed to thwart counterfeiters. The
popular program, created in 2001, has been abruptly canceled in
the wake of the currency caper."
