A report on CBC.ca talked about a US defence report that claimed that Canadian coins were used as electronic surveillance devises. Supposedly, radio frequency transmitters were located on Canadian coins no less than three times in a four month period.
As one expert stated, "It wouldn't seem to be the best place to put something like that; you'd want to put it in something that wouldn't be left behind or spent. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense."
An American official is reported as telling the Globe and Mail that while Canadian coins triggered suspicions, the fears were groundless. Apparently, they were so groundless that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) did not know about the alleged incidents until the story was reported in the news.
What next? Will they discover that someone has hidden radio frequency transmitters hidden under the rim of Tim Hortons coffee cups?
