Do Canadian Spy Coins Still Exist?

So what happened to the Canadian Spy Coin we talked about in our post before the latest one? It doesn’t really spell out in the final report what actually happened, how the coins were discovered, how the item would work, or even which coins they were found in. The government remains solid in their statement that the incidents actually occurred, and that there was a genuine risk for those involved. However, further information was kept secret for security reasons.

This obviously leaves many questions unanswered and a lot of speculation to be had about what exactly happened with these microscopic gadgets. According to the CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service), they knew nothing of these coins until it was brought to their attention by the U.S. Government. They are seeking more information about the incident to ensure everyone’s safety.

If this could happen, outside experts all agree that China, Russia, and France all have espionage operations inside of Canada, and have the right tools and funding to support this technology and type of spying. Coins might not seem like the right place for spying (although this example was quite ingenious), since they can be discarded or spent, but this nonsensical claim appears to be valid.

Unless the technology was super advanced, there isn’t really much proof that a transmitter would have worked past a few feet of distance, so there is still a lot of speculation. So do Canadian spy coins still exist, and if so, who is responsible for them? And why are they? Sadly, because of the classified nature of the incident, we simply may never know unless of course, they turn up again unexpectedly.
