We could encode the money so it can be read by a scanner. Then we could take the printing off the bills altogether.

Of course, then couldn’t read the bill to see what it’s value was. But you wouldn’t care right — that woudl be Re Tarded.

“We could encode the money so it can be read by a scanner.”

I think we are already there. Doesn’t new money come with a flat plastic/metal thread that can be read by scanners?

You should patent the idea.....little bar code in each corner.......with the numbers also....
