Despite what it says in the quote at the beginning of this thread there is nothing embedded in the coin to implement the DNA technology.
As I said before just try to imagine the implications of this technology.
Quote:
Peter Ho, RCM executive director...."It's going to explode - - " it's going to come fast," Ho said. Once the system is implemented, an individual will be able to take a picture of a coin with a phone to determine whether it is genuine, Ho said, illustrating the process by pulling out a smart phone and snapping a picture. "A shopkeeper can use this."
The DNA technology can be applied to previously struck coins and can thus be employed for coins that are in museum or institutional collections, for instance.
"A collector who loans out their coins to museums wants to make sure he gets them back," Ho said.
Reeves said that when the RCM promotes the technology for commercial use, it will be targeted at merchants as Ho suggested, so they can ward against counterfeits.
