The coin card is the perfect solution for those who find themselves encumbered with too many cards.
The coin card will cost $100 and allow you to store up to eight cards, the mobile app however, will be able to hold an infinite amount of cards. To add a card all you do is take a picture of your card and then swipe it via a small device—they provide—that connects to your phone. The coin card uses Bluetooth that allows the card to send a message to your phone saying you've forgotten it and, if your coin card can't detect your phone after a certain amount of time, it will deactivate itself.
With all the different cards we carry -- debit cards, credit cards, gift cards, membership cards and loyalty cards -- it's easy to see why someone felt the need for something like the coin card to exist.
