    The surprise explanation behind the U.S. government's sensational but false warnings about mysterious Canadian spy coins is the harmless poppy quarter, the world's first colourized coin.
    Sensational? I doubt anyone here even heard of this.

    On the news they said that the US government went through inspecting 30,000 coins before giving up. That's where your tax dollars are going
