A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) security tag (10) for attachment to a small article of merchandise to monitor the tagged item. The security tag uses a thin flexible strip (12). An RFID tag device (14) is coupled to the thin flexible strip (12) and is used for storing data related to the small article of merchandise to be monitored. A plurality of conductors (16) are laid on the thin flexible strip (12). The plurality of conductors (16) are coupled together to form a multiple turn coil for providing energy to the RFID tag device when a first end (12A) of the thin flexible strip is coupled to a second end (12B) of the thin flexible strip to form a loop.
