Dear Prof Palacio,

I just came across these articles :

Congratulations on this breakthrough of immense potential applications

 

Could following application qualify ?

Some two years back I suggested that our ( India’s ) high denomination ( Rs 500 / Rs 2000 ) currency notes should be embedded with RFID chips ( micro-sensors ) and create a Technology Platform ( in government’s IT department ) , through which such notes can be tracked , through NFC in smart phones carried in everybody’s pocket

Idea was to put a permanent end to BLACK MONEY generation / accumulation through CORRUPTION

But the problem was :

How to “ power “ ( - although , very small ) those RFID chips ,

-      to be able to reveal their Unique Serial Numbers to a nearby smart phone / smart watch ( - which , in turn , communicates with the server of the IT department )  ?

I would highly appreciate your views on this possibility
