The world's first Ecash note has been printed!

A USD 0.01 note made out to anyone can be found at:

	http://www.veriweb.com/people/jeremey/ecash/1_cent.html

The data portion of the note is a PDF417 2-D barcode, containing a
standard ecash payment of 1 US cent. 

The source code for the general PDF417 encoding and the ecash conversion
will be published as soon as I clean it up and come up with a somewhat
nicer interface. The PDF417 code should be useful for non-ecash stuff as
well, it will encode anything.

I will be bringing a bunch of notes to the bay-area cypherpunks meeting
Saturday.

Suggestions/comments appreciated.
