Rujansko izdanje Njemačkog industrijskog magazina Die Bank sadrži nove spekulacije o uvođenju špijunskih čipova u novčanice eura. U članku se raspravlja o tri moguće nove mjere protiv krivotvorenja novčanica:
novoj biološkoj boji, foliji koja mijenja boje, i uvođenju RFID-ova (radiofrekvencijskih identifikacijskih uređaja) u svaku novčanicu. Kao vjerojatni kandidat spominje se Hitachijev Mu-chip, veličine 0.18 mikrometara, iako bi trenutna cijena od oko 7 eurocenta po čipu mogla predstavljati prepreku.
Članak također govori o novom Philipsovom izumu za potpunu integraciju čipa u papir. U čipu bi bio pohranjen broj od 38 znamenki koji se ne bi mogao naknadno mijenjati, a sadržavao bi jedinstveni serijski broj i podatke o porijeklu novčanice. Metalna traka na svakoj novčanici mogla bi služiti kao antena.
Da bi ovo profunkcioniralo, trebalo bi zamijeniti sve sadašnje novčanice (njih 8,2 milijardi), a svaki
građanin morao bi imati pristup čitačima.

RFID WIKIPEDIA
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a radio frequency (RF) signal and perhaps other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. An emerging technology called chipless RFID allows for discrete identification of tags without an integrated circuit, thereby allowing tags to be printed directly onto assets at lower cost than traditional tags.
The RFID tag can automatically be read from < 1 centimeter away and does not have to be in the line of sight of the reader. The current thrust in RFID use is in supply chain management for large enterprises. RFID increases the speed and accuracy with which inventory can be tracked and managed thereby saving money for the business.
