Due to a number of money transport robberies in recent years, the Swedish national bank is considering adding RFID tags to their banknotes.
Several types of tags are under consideration: a passive id-tag for tracking stolen banknotes would form a first step; later they are considering tags that are de-activated during transport and storage and only activated once the banknotes are paid out from a cashpoint.
