U.S. Retracts Spy Coins Claim
A Canadian Press article by Jim Bronskill, via The Toronto Star, reports that:

A U.S. government defence agency has suddenly retracted its claim that Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters were planted on at least three American contractors who visited Canada.
It's the latest twist in an intriguing cash caper.
Canadians began carefully scrutinizing their loonies following the Virginia-based Defense Security Service's claim that specially doctored coins were a new tool of the trade for shadowy figures out to steal sensitive U.S. military technology.
