RFID-blocking wallets will become much more popular...
Pfft - what security conscious person keeps money in their wallet? That's the first place thieves would look!

So... the paranoiacs who said the security strips could track you were just ahead of their time?
Indeed, and what a fine pickpockets paradise it shall be! LOL

A simple act of cash changing hands could become a lot less private. U.S. researchers have developed a new way of embedding traceable chips within "smart" paper—raising the possibility of banks and governments guarding against counterfeiting and even tracking the usage of paper money.
The new method of embedding radio frequency identification chips (RFID) in paper came from North Dakota State University in Fargo. Researchers used a patent-pending technology—called Laser Enabled Advanced Packaging (LEAP)—to transfer and assemble the traceable RFID chips on paper. Such "smart" paper could lead to new types of banknotes, legal documents, tickets and smart labels.
