Onlycoin - Coin Card Replaces Everything in Your Wallet. If youve been trying to slim down your bulky wallet, a new product launching may be the device of your dreams. Despite its name, Coin is a connected credit/debit card that could replace all the plastic in your wallet. Expected to ship in Summer 2014, the device will retail for $100, but you can get it at a pre-order price of $50 starting today via Coins website. Coin will take on the identity of all your swipe-able cards such as credit, gift, loyalty and membership cards. A card-swipe dongle ships with the device so you can connect it to your phone to upload your cards onto the companion app. That information is then stored on Coin. Tap a button on Coin to toggle through a digital display of the cards stored and select the one you want to use. The device will then take on the information and identity of the card youve selected and can be swiped for use anywhere cards are accepted. Storage and communication with the app are protected by 128-bit encryption. news.discovery/tech/gear-and-gadgets/coin-card-replaces-everything-in-your-wallet-131115.htm
