money talks

This is odd: U.S. Department of Defence claims Canadian coins with RFID transmitters in them have turned up in the pockets of various contractors.

I'm not clear who they think did it, or why, or how, or why they've chosen to make this public. But it's odd.

Americans are weird. Also, I have to believe that any Canadian spying on US defence contractors would understand that Yanks normally dump Canadian change PDQ. Of course, maybe the Canadian mint has decided to track us all... *checks her loonies and toonies* Um, no, no transmitters here - do you think maybe they were confused by the Poppies on the Remembrance Day quarters given out at Timmies?

Or maybe Timmies has decided to track their customers... planting transmitters in the special coins to find out where they go... Huh. That almost sounds plausible. Maybe we should tell everyone and see how far the story travels...?
