    Canadian government keeps track of their citizens to make sure they don't tip in restaurants :D

    I gave all coins to the driver in montreal, before coming back to my country, Foreign exchange accepts only canadian dollar not the coins.

    This is just so fake ,

    if someone wanted to track someone he would give him something that stay with him , not something that will end with Homelessness people .

    You're right, of course. That's why the Kidney Tracking Device is so much more popular these days with any discerning espionagist. I mean, a little harder to plant, of course... but there will always be trade offs.

    I was just shaking my head when that hit the news yesterday. My first though was like another here, how long will someone hold onto a coin? Expecially canadian - the street is a good place to drop one of them for a kid to find and get excited about.

    They were targeting people with top secret clearance, so if they just hit the coffee shops outside the CIA/FBI buildings, only hit the people they knew worked there, then they would only need them to get into the buildings is what I figure. I mean, yeah, short lifespan, but who knows what you could garner in that time period.
