Canadian currency bugged with RFID
CBC News: "Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turned up in the pockets of at least three American contractors who visited Canada, says a branch of the U.S. Department of Defense."
Canada apparently took the idea of following the money trail a bit far... RFID in money.. interesting. Might be more efficient than the foil strip the US uses, but wouldn't range be an issue? Not clear that Canadians have RFID readers every 60-70 feet... Not sure what this is aboot.

US currency also has RFID, in shape of American Flag, imbedded in one Dollar bills. Is not the same as foil strip, but is antenna. RFID is about 5x5x1 millimetre. Observed roughly 2 years ago. Today's date: September, 2007.
