In a U.S. government warning high on the creepiness scale, the Defense Department cautioned its American contractors over what it described as a new espionage threat: Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency transmitters hidden inside.

this is true. I can't tell you how pissed I get when I'm emptying change out of my pocket and I discover some cashier gave me a *goshdarn* Canadian dime or some worthless *feces* like that. Hell, if you're not going to give me real money, at least give me a carwash token or something.

"Seriously, though. Why should I care to use another coinage?  I already use the coinage of the most powerful people on earth very fluently."

My big problem (other than rogue death squads) is they set all the vending machines here to not accept them.
