Hitachi in the money with tiny chip?
Hitachi has developed a chip that could be woven into paper money and could also have wide ramifications for identification and surveillance technologies. The chip, called Mew, measures just 0.4mm on a side and stores information such as identification and security codes. Mew includes 128 bits of read-only memory (ROM) and RF wireless circuitry that allows it to transmit over a distance of about 12 inches.
