You hear? Stephen Colbert's on the warpath again, denouncing the encroaching Canadian on all things American ... (Yea I know he's doing it for laughs ...)

Stephen Colbert warns Americans of poutine-sucking Canada’s audacious currency coup

http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1167637--stephen-colbert-warns-americans-of-poutine-sucking-canada-s-audacious-currency-coup

Funnyman Stephen Colbert poked fun at America’s “poutine-sucking, healthcare-addicted” nemesis to the North during an episode of The Colbert Report Tuesday night, pointing to recent news that economically beleaguered Iceland considered adopting the Canadian loonie.
...

Colbert warned Tuesday night, “this is just the beginning of Canada’s currency coup.”

Perhaps more concerning for Americans, Colbert said, is the Canadian Mint’s glow-in-the-dark Alberta dinosaur coins — 25-cent coins that reveal a dinosaur skeleton when placed under the light.

“Folks, Canada’s coming after our young people. What do you think they’re going to prefer: a glow-in-the-dark dino quarter or this green rectangle?” he said. “Nation, we must fight this before we lose a generation of young Americans to the scourge of Canadian politeness and fiscal sanity.”

“As for you, Canada,” he ended, “you keep your dinosaurs where they belong — liquefied in your tarsands and pumped directly into our gas tanks.”

Well it'll cost ya ... They're only minting a few thousand copies and selling them at 30$ a piece. The coins are not likely to get into general circulation.

And THAT's the rest of that story ...  ;)
