Intelligence and technology experts were flabbergasted over the warning when it was first publicized this year. The warning suggested that such transmitters could be used surreptitiously to track the movements of people carrying the coins.

"I thought the whole thing was preposterous, to think you could tag an individual with a coin and think they wouldn't give it away or spend it," said H. Keith Melton, a leading intelligence historian.

Lol, no kidding. The US Defense Department showing its characteristic 'intelligence.' :theclap:

edit: That seems like such a cool coin to have. Just gave me a thread idea.

If you had a cool poppy quarter, would you spend it? I want one to keep! See, those Canadian spies aren't so dumb. ;)
