Would there be a system and period of time when you would be able to turn in old coin for new RFID type tech-coin. Also wonder if the RFID technology wouldn&#039;t be outdated before the coins could even enter circulation due to the speed of new technologies being developed.&nbsp; With coins lasting decades in circulation compared to paper currency, it seems that the technology whether dated or the RFID tags becoming broken(?) from use during their life in a coin would also be susceptible to a new hacker type of coin counterfeiter. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure of the &#039;validity&#039; of these stories and it&#039;s a laugh to see the frist link calling such a plan &#039;super secret&#039; since someone seems to have the idea that it&#039;s going on and shared the <i>secret</i> on the web:</p><p><a href="http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news-rfid-coins-1.16b.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news-rfid-coins-1.16b.html" rel="nofollow">[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]</a></p><p><a href="http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news-rfid-coins-1.16b.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news-rfid-coins-1.16b.html" rel="nofollow"></a><b><a href="http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news-rfid-coins-1.16b.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news-rfid-coins-1.16b.html" rel="nofollow">US Government to enable RFID chips into new One Dollar coins</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Black"><b><a href="http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/eurocoins/rfid.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/eurocoins/rfid.asp" rel="nofollow">RFID Banknotes</a></b></span></p><p><a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/mobility/RFID/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=196900229" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/mobility/RFID/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=196900229" rel="nofollow"><b><br /></b></a></p><p><a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/mobility/RFID/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=196900229" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/mobility/RFID/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=196900229" rel="nofollow"><b>Defense Department Report Warns of RFID-Enabled Spy Coins</b></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
