From Yahoo::

In a U.S. government warning high on the creepiness scale, the Defense Department cautioned its American contractors over what it described as a new espionage threat: Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency transmitters hidden inside.
It is very strange. The article points out what a poor mechanism it is for tracking: short distance only, likely to be used to buy something, etc. I would think they must have been looking for a very limited amount of information. The location of a safe house, for example. While the distance is limited, you could compensate for that with an 'rfid rifle'.
