Just because it was Canadian money, doesn't mean it was the Canadian government who did it!

It was obviously a disgruntled New Hampshire lumberjack named Pete that did it. Why would he do such a thing? He's still annoyed over the Webster-Ashburton treaty and is tracking defense contractors who could be sympathetic so he and his drinking buddies can revive the Republic of Indian Stream...

Hey it could happen!

:hmm:

I just read the story and I was Shocked http://www.bombs-away.net/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif (http://www.bombs-away.net/forums/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0&forumid=19#).

If some poor sap get ahold of one of these "Coins" and unknowingly deposits it into an outside vending machine, then it is possible that the person that is tracking this "Coin" may just discover the true nature of when and how often these machines actually get refilled.

I mean, really, it's like finding out that santa is not real. Some truths are better left uncovered.

Hmm, the report stated that the transmitters were not strong enough for any sort of long distance tracking, but could be used to mark someone for kidnap or assassination.

What about using it as a trigger for an explosive device? Carry a "marked" coin within range and you can guess the rest...:hmm:
