<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4145257, member: 78244"]If they set a serial number above which all slabs have chips (such as 40000000), then the market will know that all slabs above that serial number should have a chip. That means the counterfeiters would need the physical slab to copy the code in the chip. That will definitely slow down the certification database creation assuming no hacks occur. It is a step in the right direction, but it isn’t counterfeit-proof unless I am missing something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if a picture of the respective coin (not necessarily a good one; just a sufficient one for ID purposes) shows up when any chip is scanned, then that would have my full, unfledged support. However, that could be accomplished with a simple QR code (a much cheaper option), which suggests they probably aren’t planning on doing that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
