I guess if it is radioactive, then you don't have to put the dino under light before you want to see it in the dark. Just think about how an old style luminous watch works.

Yes. When my wife and I crossed the border. The customs guard went crazy on us. Asking if we had been to the doctors of treated for any medical conditions in the last few days. We looked at him like he was crazy? We then had to go in for questioning. They kept asking us if we were team red? We were both very confused. They informed us the scanners had gone off due to increased level of radiation. They took a few items out of our car and drove it through the scanners again. This time it passed. I had a couple of junk items and 6 dinos in the box they took out. The laughed and let us go.

@brexzz1: ow wow.. If this is true the RCM may have a lawsuit on their hands. Now I've gotta see if I can get my hands on a Geiger counter to test this out. |

Nice, I am sure the levels are low, or else they would not have let you keep it. Same thing with smoke detectors and stuff if you are crossing the border.

A gamma spectrometer will do the trick. Any XRF lab will have a dozen of them. McMaster University, Guelph, Western.... There are also several commercial labs that would do it for fun. It would take all of 5-20 minutes to determine the isotope present. If anyone lives close to McMaster University, just call MNR, they would do this instantly.

Can a radon test check how radioactive the coin is?
