<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 375418, member: 8247&quot;]I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s the perfect solution, but I see no mention of the $40 scanners that scan the IR markings on the bill to determine it&#039;s denomination.&nbsp; Heck, I don&#039;t understand why these scanners aren&#039;t more common in restaurants/gas stations/etc... to detect counterfeit notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since it&#039;s a barcode, The BEP could better spend it&#039;s money in developing a key chain sized scanner similar to the Cue Cat that Radio Shack handed out for free years ago.&nbsp; Swipe it along the back of the bill and it says the denomination.&nbsp; Heck, this way, they could even hand them out for free to blind people or to organizations that deal specifically with blind people.&nbsp; On that scale, the cost per unit could be brought down to that of what they are already paying for brochures and whatnot.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
