These guys microwaved a bunch of $20 bills and because the bills became scorched, they have concluded that they contain RFID tags. Wouldn't there be an easier way to determine whether or not currency has RFIDs in it? Link (Thanks, Sean!)
JC sez: The same thing happens if you take a stack of copy paper and microwave it. A central point in the stack heats and eventually ignites and burns up and down the stack from that point.
Alex Q sez:Also of interest (besides JC's comment) is that they say they are messing with the NEW twenties, but in fact those are the old ones. you can tell because the portrait of Jackson has the circle around it, which is absent in the new twenties.
