    Your Money is Spying on You

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16572783/?GT1=8921

    Pretty self explanatory. There are Canadian coins that are hollow and inside there is a tracking device. The US government found these coins on a US contractor traveling in Canada. The US says that it could be the Russians, Chinese, or even the French that are doing this. Pretty weird and freaky I say.

    Wow that was fast. One down, a couple million other coins to go.

    Seriously, I know people who throw away change just because they're too lazy to carry it. Sure it's a discreet thing, but I'll probably spend it.

    Im sure people who deal in international espionage, and in many countries face death for their actions, don't give a damn about defacing currency

    I couldn't give a rat's ass. If they're little bugs, all they'll pick up is my trousers on the floor whilst I'm... er... 'busy' with a girl
