At the moment I have five plastic payment cards in use (and no credit cards, which is interesting ;). All of them occupy a solid number of pockets of any wallet. Why we can store thousands of melodies, dozens of movies, thousands of photos and much more on one smartphone, but the card requires its own separate "plastic", is not very clear to me. The same feelings visited the creators of the Coin project, who set out to shove all the cards into one. It turned out very intriguing!
The idea is as simple as 5 kopecks — in one card, which does not differ in weight and size from the usual "plastic", several payment cards that you own today can be sewn. As you can see from the video, you can use a special gadget that is included in the headphone jack to take a copy of your payment card, and then put it in the Coin card. Moreover, this is done automatically — the Coin phone application transmits the data of your ordinary plastic card to the Coin card via Bluetooth.
Switching cards is done by pressing a single button. The screen shows which card is currently active.
Another interesting idea from the creators of Coin is protection from «Masha—confusion ». If you forget the card after payment, the phone to which the card is connected via Bluetooth will inform you that you have moved too far away from the card.
The cost of the Coin card, which will be on sale in a month, is $ 55 if you make a pre-order.
Will you buy such a card for yourself? Will you entrust the data of all the cards to the mobile application and this gadget?
