Ok so like a month ago I read an article about the new twenty and fifty dollar bills federally backed by none other than the United States of America, setting off anti theft devices in stores.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/022904rfidtagsexplode.html

So I came back from india a little while ago and obviousely we had a lot of US dolla's in our possession and when we went to HEB to get some groceries, we set off the detector! Immediately I thought of the bills. Took my moms purse she walked through, nothing. Took the purse, walked through and beep beep beep. Took the wallet from within passed it through beep beep beep. Yes its possible there could be something in the material. Then yesterday Walked into a walgreens had the same thing happen! I happened to be wearing just an undershirt and basketball shorts without pockets so i took out my moms money, 3 fifties and 4 twenties and walked through. BEEP BEEP BEEP.

This is rather unnerving. Sometimes it doesnt happen in some stores. But it has happened in quite a few stores. THIS is very bad news. I mean, now the government is tracking our cash money. The big brotherness of this is really unnerving. Yes it really doesnt affect me. But someday I'm plannin to be rich, and I wouldnt mind havin a load of cash stashed somewhere for safe keeping. I think that we the people need to do something about this. You all can try it for yourself.

The new twenties and the model before it, the new fifties. It rarely sets it off when they are alone, but if you have more than two of em...its really weird.

If the money is in fact setting off alarms, there is something in them causing this.

Possibly so, but how does that lead to tracking money? I mean, it's not like the bill has any info on who's spending it and what it was used to purchase.

Quick! put them in the microwave! that will kill the tracking tag!



hmm i would think tracking all the new $20 and $50 (would guess $100 also) would be darn near impossible.

They do have small strips in them so they can tell conterfiet ones apart. doubt that is setting them off.

Quick, use some of the money to buy a gigantic roll of tinfoil and make a hat out of it. Better yet, make a whole suit of clothes, yeah, that's the ticket.

just send it to me. I have a special machine that will kill the tracking tag! but it takes a $20 a $2, a $50 into a $5 and a $100 into a $10.

It doesn't mean money is being tracked now, but if every new bill has an RFID chip embeded in it, a law requiring retailers to scan every bill given/received and a database ala Total Information Awareness is all that is needed to start tracking. I realise that that isn't exactly an easy feat and retailers would raise hell, but hey, anythying to catch terrorists eh?

That being said, it wouldn't surprise me too much if there was an RFID chip or something similar in the new bills, but I would be very very surprised if the government was actively tracking cash transactions.

It is just some metal in the new bills.

Has it occured to you that if indeed it is the money doing this that it may be part of the ink or material setting off the alarm, and that is a side effect to anti counterfeit technology?

If there were an ID chip implanted, people here on OT discovered it first? :confused:

Yes it has and that's what I suspect all of this is about. I was just talking about what could happen if there were RFID chips in bills. When I said "something in the bills", I should have said "something about the bills" .

No, they're not. Go to any bank and you'll find them.

You naysayers need to wake the hell up, and wake up soon. Big Brother is moving in on our liberties in ways you can't imagine. They aren't going through the front door with curfews and check points; they're coming in the back, and they are doing it with surveillance measures such as the new bills. My brother in law's friend actually has been working on some of this tracking technology. You wouldn't believe it, and it's so far above what we've got in the public sector. Of course the metal linings on these bills do not have transmitters - we're not there yet, since those cost too much, but there is a tiny memory chip on each bill and it knows what store the bill went in and when (stores have to register their anti-theft devices using a unique number, like a MAC address on a computer).

I've personally stopped using all of the new 20s and any bill with a metal strip. I've also taken myself off the grid. I take the bus, so that the government doesn't have information from me from a driver's license or car registration. I also had a cache of weaponry coming in today, but it was bloody well seized. :|
