nwfdailynews.com — US Army contractors traveling Canada filed confidential espionage reports about a coin from Canada, describing the coins as "anomalous" and filled with something man-made that looked like nano-technology. However, the coin was just a poppy quarter, and the supposed nano-technology actually was a conventional protective coating.

Nothing true about it. That story has been floating around in different forms, with different countries featured, for at least 40 years.

> aren't our nations friends? Sure. But the first rule of keeping your country secure is that you don't plan for what you think the country next door will do; you plan for what they're capable of doing. It's a standard precaution that professionals would take, and not the same as actually invading.We Canadians understand this. We assume that you have plans for the invasion of Canada gathering dust on a shelf somewhere, updated every 10 or 20 years. Frankly, we'd be insulted if you didn't.

That's nothing. Wait 'till you test it with a Geiger counter.
