Here's what the actual quarter (enlarged to show detail) looks like...
It is, of course, the same size as an American quarter. The flip-side shows a picture of QEII.

I've been following this story in the news for the last few months, and I must admit, the outcome gave me a good laugh!  Who knew a quarter could cause so much trouble? In all honesty, I could see how someone unfamiliar with the coin could think it looked a little 'odd', but to insinuate espionage? Come on! I really liked the part where the guy feared it had been put in his pocket on purpose to track him. Would somebody please put some money in my pocket for me? I'll let you follow me around...I'll even call you up and tell you where I am!  Ok, maybe not.
