+res2100 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 heres a link to very funny true story about a canadian coin: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070507/ap_on_go_ot/spy_coins Canada also has a Breast Cancer pink ribbon coloured quarter too, plus many other special edition coloured quarters available from the Royal Canadian Mint. Both the Poppy and Ribbon quarters are popular trade items in caches within Canada. Also of note is that the nano technology for the spy devices in the quarters failed to work, so that is why these coins were released to the public. Quote Link to comment
Odyssey Voyager Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) the rumour is that canada was using the nano technology in an attempt to find out the colonels secret recipe for making kentucky fried chicken so tasty! there are some poppy quarters on ebay, but they are very very popular! anybody with their own poppy quarters interested in selling a few? email me.

danoshimano Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ha ha! Nice to finally see what started all this, and it is even funnier than the initial reports which had RFID tags in two dollar coins. The poppy quarter! N'yuk N'yuk N'yuk Quote Link to comment
