In the days of the Cold War, espionage was a big deal. This was back when spy bots didn’t exist and spies relied on obtaining information personally. If you weren’t a spy, you might as well have swallowed cyanide because during the Cold War everyone was a spy. That’s why Brian Dereu wants to cash in on spy-wannabes everywhere. He’s started a new business selling hollow spy coins for 20 bucks a pop.

It’s a coin that’s been hollowed out so you can covertly transport secret messages, suicide poisons, microfilms and maybe even drugs. Hell, if you’re dropping a twenty dollar bill on nothing more than a coin, you’ll have to do some smuggling with it to make up for your loss.

Good idea: buying a PS2 to play some sick games.

Bad idea: buying a PS2 to gut it and smuggle drugs into your country.

That’s just what these three men, two Canadians and a New Zealander, are accused of. Well, not so much accused but more like getting caught red handed. Australian customs detected the parcel containing the drugs at Sydney’s international mail facility on October 5. They found 3,400 ecstasy pills hidden inside the PS2 that was en route to an address connected to the three men. They’re now facing life imprisonment and/or a $825,000 fine. Drugs don’t pay, kids.
