  RFID Body Piercings?

  Will the new decade see a fad of youngsters implanting RFID chips under their skin, to confuse sensors?
  
  Or this could go the route of advanced bar codes -- in the late 90s, there was a brief fad of bar codes that could store GIF images, but it faded out.

    Currency?

    Currency is already identified today - it's called a serial number and it is easily scanned with today's currency readers (plus a number of sites track a bill's ciculation on the internet today). Why would making the serial number electronic make the currency less anonomous. Besides the fact that RFID is unlikely ever to make it into currency, tracking billions of dollars of currency (most of which circulates outside the U.S.) just isn't feasible.
