Currency using QR codes

[Fritz]A buddy has been experimenting with these new 2D bar codes that seem to have become the defacto standard in Asia (certainly Japan where cell phones like the iPhone are failing because they can't process them). Mozilla plugins let you display a URL and them snap a pic with the cell phone camera and add the URL to your phone browser, same with business cards etc ... this looks like the next step.

QR Code Currency
Brandon Wiley has created an ATM machine for the Austin Time Exchange Network complementary currency using QR codes. Using Tom Brown’s OAuth and the OSCurrency API they are currently working together on making the process resistant to counterfeiting. You can read the technical details here P2P Money with App Engine, OAuth, and QR Codes.
The QR Code in the picture (I put in the currency background) decodes to http://www.austintimemachine.org/deposit?serial=OSC-8c3bfed307d38e5a8b1fd1397c262aac78dd5dd3 but you will need an authenticated ID to cash it in!
