    I like it. I wonder if PCGS could use iSIS technology in their slabs:

    "iSIS is a security system embedded within the upcoming £1 coin redesign...

    iSIS stands for "Integrated Secure Identification Systems", and uses technology that has previously only been available in bank notes. Three years in the making and costing £2 million to develop, it inserts a physical security layer within each coin that allows for thousands of coins to be scanned and verified in a matter of seconds, quickly separating the real coins from the duff ones."

    I'm curious what this security technology really is.
