This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard an "educator" say, and that is saying something. 35 years of teaching high school physics, taking upgrading courses in physics, math and teaching technique, working my butt off to be as good as I can be, and I hear this! Incompetent teachers kill student motivation, cause conflict in the school and bring the public system into disrepute. They also encourage ignorance and cynicism in their students. No wonder the public distrusts us. Root them out! Drivel!
With current US passports on a 10 year expiry (wife is American, and that's what hers says) or even Canada's 5-year expiry, it will take a VERY long time to have enough of these out there to be useful for the intended purpose. And that would be after design, testing etc. I really don't understand what advantage they would have over conventional passports with a biometric identifier (like your picture).

Don't know about the Monopoly money equivalent, but $45 M CDN is about $46.8 M USD right now.

Just make sure it only grows on fields belonging to licensees.
