Japan Unveils Fingerprint Currency To Replace Cash
Japan have announced plans to unveil a program next year which will see the introduction of fingerprint currency that will eventually replace cash by the year 2020. The fingerprint currency system will force users to register their fingerprints and other biometric information at locations such as airports, and then when they wish to pay for a service they scan their fingerprint instead of using cash or cards. Pressfortruth.ca reports: The program is going to start with foreign tourists being able to verify their identity by scanning their finger rather than pulling out their wallet.
