They say money talks, and a new report suggests Canadian currency is indeed
chatting, at least electronically, on behalf of shadowy spies.

Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turned up in

Security experts believe the miniature devices could be used to track the
movements of defence industry personnel dealing in sensitive military
technology.
