RFID: December 2007 Archives

The Armadillo Dollar, created by Wisteria House Products of Gilbert, Arizona, protects against new wireless ID theft and RFID monitoring. When put into a person’s wallet, the Armadillo Dollar blocks the transmission of sensitive private information from RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) enabled debit/credit cards or employee badges. The user can move around essentially undetected by RFID readers, and wireless ID thieves.

The Armadillo Dollar is 7 3/8” by 3 1/8”, 25% larger than a dollar bill and fits in most wallets. It can also be folded around credit cards. It sells for $25.
