If you'd be a third party interested in raising a stink between .ca and .us
you'd do just exactly that. If you'd be a local you's still do as above in the
hope that someone would look for a third party. Surely you wouldn't expect them
to be Bangladeshi coins ? Anyway I know nothing about these things except spook

referring to the technical issue. As to whether it exists, I doubt whether they
made up that coin.
