I doubt this version would hold up well in a salt water environment. The chips will ultimately have a conformal coating leaving only gold contacts which should fare better.
We have considered more robust variants that would fully seal all the components, but this is a v2 problem.
I should add that even a corroded chip should ultimately still be accessible; you might have to pull it off of the bill and decap it.
- sgarman 7y agoDo v1 people just not get to redeem their value in x years since they become unreadable?
- ccamrobertson 7y agoThe secure element chip is pretty robust on its own. Even if most of the bill is destroyed, it will be possible to communicate with the chip in most cases.
