Even more amazing, this isn't the first time. Get this:
 
   http://www.livescience.com/technology/070111_ap_spy_coin.html
   
   To quote this story:
 
   "What's in the report is true,'' said Martha Deutscher, a spokeswoman for the security service. "This is indeed a sanitized version, which leaves a lot of questions.''

   Then this:

I recall reading it in Slashdot.org last year.  Makes you wonder if the Americans have spy coins too in Canada's PMO. 

The new body scanners at US airports detect hidden fake coins and whatever else on your body.
