the_newsbeagle writes "No. That's not what quantum money is about. It's actually a proposal to create cash that can't be counterfeited by embedding quantum particles in banknotes. That would do the trick because a counterfeiter trying to copy a real bill would have to precisely measure all the attributes of the embedded quantum particles — which is impossible under the tricky laws of quantum mechanics."
