<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 615580, member: 39&quot;]Not really. Some time ago the ECB discussed using microchips in future euro notes; the size of such chips would be about 0.5 square millimeters. Could be tough to carry those. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose it would be technically possible to build microchips into coins and notes. With notes, however, government could be tempted to make cash traceable using RFID chips. And even the most perfectly law abiding citizen may have legitimate reasons to not want that. As for coins, such chips would currently be too expensive to use in low denomination pieces ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
