when you unblind a blind signature all the signer knows is that it's a signature they signed at some point, they know nothing (true zero knowledge) about when or where they signed it among all the other signatures.
it would depend on the government and the situation. I suspect most don't realize this is possible. a small government can generate immediate demand for their currency doing this.
combine with a central authority server network and make it blind signatures and you have untraceable e-cash.
Blind signatures don’t work like that. Once you unblind them, they are very traceable. Chaumian e-cash can only be spent once for that reason.

No government wants untraceable e-cash. They want it fully traceable.
