I agree, many local smaller shops won't even accept mfg coupons because they are either 1) afraid of fakes and/or 2) they don't buy enough stocks for resell to redeem the coupons
I know that Coca Cola have been using coupons with hologram stickers for a few years now, but this sure add up the cost for printing don't you think?

I had a similar incident happened to me yesterday. I used the Delissio Flat bread BOGO at my neighbourhood Metro and the cashier was 'feeling' the coupons (it printed on slightly thicker paper and was a smaller sized coupon) - she asked where I got it from and then called the manager. I was so embarrassed because I was holding up the line.
Luckily the manager knew me and okayed it (she said there had been a lot of coupon fraud - many stores are not getting reimbursed and they were told to be extra vigilant!). Since I got the coupon from the Sobeys' a couple of blocks down, I offered to call the Sobey's manager for her to double check.
With regards to save. ca (had similar problems at Food Basics a while ago), now I just bring a copy of my latest save.ca that had my name on it. Whenever there is a question, I just whip out that copy, show them my ID and explain how save.ca works. I actually got a few cashier signed up on save.ca. LOL!

How disheartening and sad. And just when I am starting to get good at this! Well, forewarned is forearmed . . . or something like that. (I often misquote well known sayings oops) It seems strange that is happening to a lot of people all around the same time?!?
I like the "hand'em over to us at SC" idea lol

I was shopping at SDM last sat. and the cashier checked mine very carefully and then went to a list to check to see if they were good.

last week at walmart I used a $2 off pampers diapers(save.ca)
They called a manager to see if the coupon was ok.
At the time I wondered about the hassle for 2$ off

I was in Metro today -every cash register had a sign posted warning cashiers about fraudulent Lays Chip FPC coupons. The sample looked very real ...
