Transmit range of money ?

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

When energy is sent towards money the money starts tranmitting a
signal/information.

For example, put money in microwave for 3 seconds and the chip will catch
fire.

Seen this myself

My question about this is:

What is the range of the signal ?

Should "we" be worried that criminals start scanning our houses in search of
money ?

The 20 euro bill I put in microwave was from 2001 and seemed to contain a
rf-chip, I am not sure though but I am bit worried about that !

Could have other privacy implications as well

Bye,
Skybuck.

Receiver technology is getting better all the time. The CIA can follow you
anywhere on the globe!

Yes indeed!

Yes.
I suggest you take ALL your money and burn it - pronto!
Start bartering in gold nuggets instead, you'll be a lot safer.

The government can ignite any bill based on serial number over a range
of several hundred kilometers.

Collect all of your paper money and give it to the next beggar standing
on a street corner ASAP. Better safe than sorry.

thats the best idea so far!!

Dummy, there ain't no chip in our money!
*LOOK* carefully and you will see a metal strip ($5 bills and up, do not
remember $2 bills).
*NOT* a chip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe that's the antenna !

Bah ! You let him know. ;~)

Where's your antenna ? Maybe we could find the code to make you self-terminate ?

Face it: soon Europeans will be tracked in everywhere they walk, drive,
park, use a phone or a computer, and spend or even carry money. Not only
will computers read and log RFIDs and national ID cards and auto GPS
locations, video cameras will be constantly recording stores, streets, and
highways. Since everyone else is tracked, too, they'll know who you have
been with. You will get a monthly report of every transaction, every place
you car has driven or parked, every train/bus/airline you have traveled
on, every meal you have ordered and its health and environmental impact. A
bill will list the appropriate carbon taxes, sales taxes, VAT add-ons, and
fines/fees for speeding/parking/gardening without a permit/missing
class/working too little or too much.

Your paranoia is finally justified.

Unfortunately, America seems to be headed down the same primrose path.

Sigh.

Lol,

Do still think wearing a tin foil hat is funny ?

No, merely pathetic.

Good Luck!

[Skybuck Flying]

No, merely pathetic.

Ok so no tin foil hat for you ?

How about a balls-protector ?

You do have balls right ?

Must have been a counterfeit one. The real Euro bills don't have RFID
chips.
