CNN has this story about how paranoid some people get over nothing, and can't be bothered to , I don't know, maybe read a friggin' newspaper or something.

Seems they are scared of Canadian money, now.

In 2004, Canada produced a special coin to commemorate fallen soldiers. It includes a red poppy flower emblazoned over a maple leaf. Apparently, US government contractors working in Canada began to receive these in change, and freaked.

My favorite quote:

The Defense Security Service never examined the suspicious coins, spokeswoman Cindy McGovern said. "We know where we made the mistake," she said. "The information wasn't properly vetted. While these coins aroused suspicion, there ultimately was nothing there."

Amazing that you could visit a foreign country, and never bother to ask, "What's the deal with your money?"
