From Hitachi, an extremely tiny RFID chip that doesn’t require an external antenna and could potentially be embedded in all sorts of paper products like money, tickets, magazines, etc. There were some earlier reports that the European Central Bank was going to start putting Hitachi’s RFID chips in every euro note, but that is apparently not the case. If true, it means that stores could potentially do all sorts of disturbing things like know how much money you had in your wallet based on the RFID tags they would detect.
