Neither would Kong in most cases. Why would you assume that counterfeiting will be anymore common with Kong than it would for cash?
> Whereas Kong requires verification because literally anything could have happened to the note that you can't determine through mere visual inspection (all the things I noted). That forces you through the awkward and painful flow of verifying each Kong note via NFC.
I don't see why verification via NFC would be any more difficult than using one of those counterfeit detector pens.

No, I assume that the risk of a counterfeit bill is much much lower than the risk of the IC on a kong bill failing taking the value of the bill with it forever. There's so many more failure modes for a Kong bill than the plastic it's embedded in. The bills themselves, aside from being counterfeit, cannot fail. Kong bills can be counterfeit too, and also have tens of new failure modes.
