To add cards to your Coin, you need to take a photo of the front and back and then use a provided card reader to swipe the card. Once your cards have been synced, you can use the app to manage your library and choose which cards you'd like to use on the physical Coin. Although the accompanying mobile app can store an unlimited number of cards, a Coin card holds no more than eight.
Coin is about the same size as a traditional credit card, and comes in a similar plastic.
Pressing a small buton on the card lets you toggle through the different credit card accounts that you have uploaded to Coin. Currently, Coin only assimilates magnetic stripe cards and has no support for the up-and-coming EMV chip technology.
Coin uses a low-power Bluetooth signal to communicate with the app. If you ever leave your Coin behind while buying coffee, your phone will receive a notification asking whether you left without remembering to take your card. A phone is not required to use the card, however.
The Coin's screen displays the credit card brand, the last 4 digits of the card number, and the expiration date on a digital display. There's a signature panel on the back.

Ian and Yeo’s house was uninhabitable when they purchased it in 2002. Three months later, the roof caved in. The translation of the sign above the door of the couple’s renovated house (right) is “peace.”
Nobody’s Chair, otherwise known as the Nobody’s Perfect chair, was designed in 2002 and created from poured polyurethane and plastic fasteners.
“We should be thinking about density in a different way and about how we can create levels of public and private within our own single-family dwellings,” she says. The original house on the lot was a 1920s bungalow that she gutted and expanded in 2002.
With streets named after American or English colleges, the College Hills Historic District earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Within the Historic District, this home at 2900 Hunter Hill Road is known as the Mary Lou and Porter F. Butts House.

The interior is spare and modern. The cabinets and chairs are from IKEA. So is the table, which has a DIY laminated-ash top. Suzanne Rochon bought the cabin in 2002 and spent a decade fixing it up before calling on YH2 Architecture. In 2005, she added five acres, doubling the property.
Italian kitchen company Snaidero set out in 2002 to create an attractive kitchen system that would meet the needs of individuals in wheelchairs. The result: the Skyline kitchen.
