I don’t know about the internal mechanism but this type of coin is called a “shell coin” and has been used the world over by magicians for a long time. One can buy them at any good magic supplier; the best are generally acknowledged to be the ones made by Eddie Gibson. A Shell Coin can contain other shells (I have one that contains 3 other shells of smaller coins – which enables one to “produce” 5 coins from 1). One side of a shell coin can also be used to cover another smaller coin which is then picked up by a magnetic “pull” (a magnet attached to elastic anchored in the sleeve and wrapped in black velvet. It is palmed and then released as one waves over the shell, whisking it away to reveal the smaller coin; called a coin “change”).
I just thought someone might find this info useful.

This is very funny with people concerned about RFID chips and tracking lol, If this was true then it would have to be another country, Canada takes pride in making great canadian coins.

Well I questioned the likelihood of these devices in the original post. Basically, the concept is flawed. Would be better to bug a mobile phone, because

1) its easier,
2) the owner is likely to want to keep hold of it due to value and
3) there’s a better capability for tracking built into it.

That’s pretty impressive, and bound to get the conspiracy theorists going.

If there wasn’t enough concern about RFID chips as is it, inserting them into coins for surveillance purposes seems a pretty scary idea!

I personally save all of my coins. Just spend electronically or with notes, and save the coins.

A bit daft really – i mean, how long does a coin stay with a particular person?
