COIN 2.0

2013-2015

Coin was an all-in-one electronic card that stored data from eight bank cards in one device. Being before apps like Apple Pay and Google Pay, it was an original and smart product. However, the first generation of Coin was plagued with bugs and was too thick to fit in many ATMs, meaning you still had to carry your regular cards just in case, defeating Coin’s entire premise - not so smart.
