From the website:
They say money talks, and a new report suggests Canadian currency is indeed chatting, at least electronically, on behalf of shadowy spies.
Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turned up in the pockets of at least three American contractors who visited Canada, says a branch of the U.S. Department of Defence.

I still dont buy it…I mean I keep seeing posts of canadian money being bugged but I still havent seen any hard evidence. like maybe a pic of a canadian coin with a bug in it? this almost hints to me of some government ploy that were all of a sudden supposed to be fearful of canada :~/

Me neither. It reeks of urband legend. Would be cool though. Maybe someone is trying to set up Canada as a future target for US invasion.

I heard about it, and I think it’s nuts.
Urban legend time. I think they are trying to drum up a little cross-border nonsense.
So you plant a bug in someone’s money. It’s money – they’re going to spend it, duh.
They’re not going to take it back home with them. US stores don’t take Canadian money.

It’s all part of our plan. Our plan to hear your… change, jingle in your pocket…

The picture clearly shows that they are also doing it to US coins.

Um… the story was on Fox News?
Oh, it MUST be true, then…
