Or maybe just more fear mongering via the "free press?"

The possibility exists for something like this to happen the technology is definitely in existence.

I would agree. I was reading one time on a cold war site that we had a radio controlled mechanical dragonfly that would go up to windows with a camera. And they had that back in the 60's.

This all sounds like a set-up to me. They're trying to take away the privacy advantage of cash. People by now should be able to figure out that their debit cards, credit cards and soon to be cell phones that they'll wave in front of a cash register (for 20 minutes) are tracking them. But if they come to believe that their coins are tracking them too, then the two would be equally invasive.

I remember hearing about these "spy coins" a couple of years back. I couldn't imagine how small something would be in order to hide it in a coin.
