Beginning this week in the Netherlands a limited number of these coins which contain a QR code which when scanned by your cellphone takes you to a Dutch Ministry of Finance webpage where you will soon find a “surprise” will be circulated. Just make the money digital already….

This is what we are heading people. I’m no DOOM thinker or Illuminati conspiracy theorist (actually I believe a lot
) But why on earth would we want our money to go digital? A QR code on our money?
This is the first step, next step: No cash money at all and unfortunately we are all ‘buying’ this crap. We accept the fact that the money on our bankaccounts are DIGITAL, we TRUST our banks…and that scares the hell out of me cause we have seen what the banks did to our money system!
Stop the rent, stop the creditcards and deal with the REAL money you have.
I have inspected this and information learns that this EURO is a special because of a anniversy of the Dutch Currency Factory. The QR code leads to this website: http://www.herdenkingsmunt.nl/domains/default/pages/content.aspx?content=14440000000052_2_10000000001651&contentcode=main_jubileummunt
Isn’t this one of the countries going bankrupt in Europe?
Playing around with money now huh? QR codes?
I’m with Micheal and the idea of digitizing money only helps those who are in power to exploit it (the politically connected and the super rich… Stop lying to yourself saying 200k is rich… 200 Million is rich.)
First they took u’s off the gold standard, then they create money by just adding zeros to an account in some bank. Now they want u’s to ONLY use digital money? This is getting out of hand.
nope holland is the country with the least loss of employment, although like the rest of the world they do need to decrease spending
