RFID?

 

[Daniel Albarran]

It folds too! Will it become a transformer? What!

 

[Daniel Albarran]

Came off. Weird, it's been living under the laminate for decades.

Looks like the top to some sealed container found it's way underneath the inlay.

Indeed. Terrible quality control from this Paulson "company".

Interesting, wonder what happens during the whole process.

Here we go, had the same question back in 2018:

Is it the top of an adhesive container? Do they use an adhesive between the inlay and the chip? Every time they open one up they just stick it on the chip instead of tossing it out?

If came off easily, wasn't glued. Just the piece of foil.

Does it happen exclusively on leaded chips?

 

[FordPickup92]

Does it happen exclusively on leaded chips?

Not sure, I think it's more for inlay purposes and not at all related to weight purposes
Here's the image

Yes, my Ambassador Plaza $100s had a similar “slug” in them that was noticeable when removing the inlay.

I wonder if it is/was some sort of security measure. Or maybe primitive way to auto count chips. Assuming a sensor could pick up that there is metal in there.

Exactly the same. Wonder what happens during the process.

Ok, so the other day I happened to be reading the GPI annual report (crazy, I know...but it's actually an interesting read) when I happened upon this:

My guess EM detection is electro-magnetic? By putting a foil disc in the chip, it can be detected for security purposes, I'm guessing.

Very interesting. Are these foil discs on every chip?

 

[Tonysquander]

Definitely not

 

[Daniel Albarran]

Interesting. It doesn't look like ink residue, it looks and feels like it's 'underneath' the chip. Foil shaped logo?
