Any info would be appreciated.

As I understand it , this is a voluntary arrangement "requested" by the US Secret Service, i.e. as an anti-counterfeiting measure. I know that Xerox and Konica have implemented this and I believe that all other major manufacturers have also. There's loads of information about this, including "decoding the dots", just google it.
