In another case, a film processing company called the FBI after it developed pictures for a contractor that contained classified images of U.S. satellites and their blueprints. The photo was taken from an adjoining office window.

I think this is the best thing I've ever heard. I can just imagine the take down of a store clerk that just accepted the coin. This is some real cloak and dagger type stuff

Because that’s how most drug deals go down. Or better yet. The price of the drugs is 9 million 9 hundred ninety-nine thousand 9 hundred ninety-nine and 99 cents.

The reason is found.

The worried contractors described the coins as "anomalous" and "filled with something manmade that looked like nanotechnology," said once-classified U.S. government reports and e-mails.
