Anyway, now that I'm slightly over the ludicrousness of the "spy coin" I personally think it was TOTALLY appropriate to put rememberance of war veterans onto a coin that will carry the legacy for a hell of a lot longer than I'll be alive. Spy coin my ***! Vets would turn over in their graves if they knew this was how a symbol of their heroism and patriotism was being percieved. I profoundly respect the sacrifices made for my freedom and protection. Some of the higher ups should be ashamed of themselves!

Wow!! I can't believe the Canadian gov't would have a stroke of brilliance like that. Can you imagaine???? What a cool way to keep track of what's in my closet?? Incredible, absolutely incredible. Those quarters must have a field day letting command central know they haven't been touched or moved in over 5 years. The intelligence they're gathering looks suspiciously like ummmmm let's see if I can choose the right word now..... ok, got it......DUST!! Well that's not true either cause they're in a special plastic case (to amplify the signals needed for the homing signal) and protected from things like ...oh, say finger acid, rain, washing machines, bank vaults, cash drawers or lost on a street or field. Heck I bet many of them have been flipped into wishing wells too. And another thing, whenever I go to other countries, do you think they take a $C?? Nope, better have travellers cheques, VISA or buy the currency. All the brilliant attempts to flood other countries with a $.25 coin that people look at as fake just to start with??? First time I saw this coin, it was only available from change recieved at Petro Can gas stations. Yup, lots of those all over the world and US aren't there? It would be like trying to find a PEMEX station in Edmonton. "Si", I mean "No English".

It was the Bush Administration thinking we were spying on them because some US military top brass met with some of our top brass and picked up a few of these coins in their change while they were here. If you look at the coins they could look like they could be "spy coins".
I thought it was pretty funny.

Canadian Spy crisis...
Allan,

Good one Ken!! Do I hafta come over there and spike your coke? If you can guess how many of these 3 fingers I'm holding up...damn, that didn't work. I'm going to have to break the seals on my spy coins to see if I can download some intel. 
Nope, didn't work, just wrecked the quarters trying to find the nano probes....even used my bifocals and magnifying glass....nothin there I tell ya. 
Gotta get in touch with the Borg and find out how nano technology really works. Then watch out, everyone else will be assimilated. 
Resistance will only be a word in the dictionary..
Senior govt officials: Run, run like the wind. We will track you down with our spy coins.

That dastardly Vince had your brother King Kong fixed Flying Monkey Squadron!!!
The few chromosomes different than humanities.
Look at him gloat.
This only enforces our steel and resolve.
Chimpkind of the winged, amphibious and terrestrial species must unite!!
I just received a radio report from Kong my hairy heroes.
His voice is three octaves higher and he was in tears.
He said he just thought that he was going in for a normal checkup and a swine flu shot. ...sniff...
The next thing you know Dr. Sandy said turn your head and cough and her giggling assistant Allan R. was the last thing he saw, it all went black after that.
Redgoat to Monkey Squadron....hang in there boys....stay loose!!!...over...
I'm losing control!!
going down in flames!!!
I think it's time to bail out of this thread!!!
V is for Vista Victory over Vince !!!.......over
