    "Currently no RFID tag is thin enough to meet this requirement [1/8 inch]"

    WRONG.

    Do some research before you make such comments. Yes - they have been able to make RFID tags thin enough to be printed, cost effective too.

    BTW -- since I couldn't remember the name of the company that made these products, a google/teoma search for "RFID Paper" found the cites. Took 30 seconds.

  2. RFID can do that by throbbingbrain.com · · Score: 2, Informative · on An ID Number for Everything

    Passive RFID can already do that.

    ...and can be read at greater distances, can't be duplicated, can be used in any type of material, is more durable, etc...

    For now, the cost is too high to put in smaller denominations, but I'm guessing that with the huge numbers of bills, the cost will eventually no longer be a deciding factor.
    Active RFID tags will always be too expensive for tracking/authenticating small denomination currency or high-volume/low-cost merchandise.

    Passive RFID has a much lower cost-per-unit and it's better in many other ways as well. It's perfect for currency as it cannot be duplicated.

    I can't figure out why Walmart isn't jumping all over it.

    Of course, it depends on the technology used for the RFID.

    They really should use passive microwave resonance tags.

    They're not affected by magnetic fields, are smaller, cheaper, more durable than silicon based RFID, flexible, can be 'printed' into currency, and are not reproducible, among other advantages.

  5. Passive ID is better by throbbingbrain.com · · Score: 1 · on NYT on RFID Tags

    Active ID costs too much and lacks durabilty for consumer use.

    Passive ID is a better solution.

    The per unit cost is lower than chip-based active IDs will ever reach. They can be manufactured into products for tracking and anticounterfeiting, are less affected by shock, heat, pressure, and cannot be duplicated.

  6. Re:What? by throbbingbrain.com · · Score: 1 · on RFID: The New Big Brother ?

    Active RFID tags are too expensive per unit for mass use, too large, and too fragile.

    Inkode RFID tags are passive, sophisticated, inexpensive, and durable. They can be embedded in paper or manufactured within other products.

  7. There is a more durable alternative by throbbingbrain.com · · Score: 1 · on Europe Adding RFID Tags to Euro Currency

    Chips are fragile. Check this out. Washable, wearable, durable.

  8. There is a better way! by throbbingbrain.com · · Score: 1 · on Embedding Chips Into Paper Money

    Chips can't be bent, washed, crushed, heated, etc. Embedded electronics in currency, clothes, media, or durable goods will fail. No matter how small they can make the chip, it will never compare to the capabilities of the ID materials created by Inkode .
