Microwave Your Money

The RFID tracking chips that are placed in US currency explode when microwaved?



Having to try this for myself I fired up the trusty microwave oven and roasted some bills. My experiment would be slightly different though, I wanted to see if Canadian money exploded too. It did, kind of, but I believe it had more to do with the foil security feature in Canuck money. Foil + Microwave = Fire.



Amazingly, on only my second attempt I managed to pay for something at a store with my burnt bill!.

Check out the fascinating exploding bill article here and then go microwave your money.
