Many people these days have smartphones and QR scanning apps are plentiful. One would need only to develop an app that would only link to the central banking database upon scanning the code. Perhaps a combination QR barcode scanner to scan both simultaneously to avoid confusion with similar data matrices.

In any event, its interesting to see other ideas along the lines of an all-electronic/digital national currency. It does link to the central bank, and the QR code only contains the account number, which is not enough to get into the system. It also verifies if the account is valid, if the QR code would contain a website link, it would not work. Also, people should not scan plain QR codes, but the card I linked you to. If the number there is invalid or the person does not know the PIN, it won't work. The number of tries is not limited so far, and PIN is standardly four digits long, but it can be expanded into four or more, if ever needed.
