The Apple Money gadget itself would function as a device for [mining coin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avalon-nano-3s) and would be powered by the Apple Security Chip S2 that would allow for the managing of 27 assets and ERC20 tokens. The money would also be available on the [Apple Card+](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yzy-card), which is imagined as an enhanced version of the namesake original. The conceptual Apple Money device is imagined as a sleek device that would fit in well with an existing user's everyday tech carry and could be accented with a stylish case.
