oh... we sneaky Canadians..
This story, about "strange radio transmitting coins from Canada" surfaced a few months back, then dropped from sight, with out any explanation of which coins they were talking about. Now we know why:
Once upon a time, a couple of American Defense contractors (whose names have never been disclosed) came to Canada. Upon their arrival, they found that they had been "tagged" by a suspicious looking coin; one of which had been found in the cup holder of a rental car. It was plainly obvious that these coins "were filled with something man-made that looked like nano-technology". The worried contractors filed confidential espionage reports.
"The confidential accounts led to a sensational warning from the Defense Security Service, an agency of the Defense Department, that mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters were found planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances on at least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006 as the contractors travelled through Canada."
The Panic was on
