At first I was convinced that I had gotten scammed, and that the pop machine had given me a fake quarter in amongst my change. In fact, even after careful deliberation among my co-workers, we still weren’t convinced that what we were holding was a real Canadian quarter. Because Canadian quarters, even special “Millenium” quarters, do not look like this.

Of course, it would have been cooler if I had gotten one of these. Not more believable, just cooler.
