This Quarter Kills Fascists


Back in 2004, the Canadian Mint released into distribution a special quarter that had a red poppy placed on it. The poppy is what many Canadians wear around November 11 to honour and remember soldiers that fought in the World Wars. Pretty pretty quarters, if I say so myself.


Some US army contractors were working in Canada when the coins were released, and became increasingly paranoid about the nature of the quarters. They were convinced that people planted them on their person, and the red poppy part was some sort of "nanotechnology" radio-frequency spy device. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
