[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2170265, member: 4373"]I've read this interesting article from Japan and I can't imagine why this cannot be used to fight against counterfeits. In particular, the highlight of this new technology is this: " Although mass-produced products look smooth and identical to the naked eye, they are different under the microscope because even items cast from the same molds bear unique surface patterns. " Unlike the previous way of identifying slabbed coins by barcode number which can be easily duplicated and then counterfeit coins can be placed duplicated barcode numbered slabs - this completely eliminates a lot of problems. The article can be seen here: [url]http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/06/07/business/tech/nec-develops-way-id-everyday-objects/#.VXYvJFIZaFn[/url] What do you think?[/QUOTE]
