The Internet has been buzzing about Coin, a credit card replacement announced last Thursday. Currently taking pre-orders, and planning to launch Summer 2014, Coin is a credit card-sized device which is capable of storing and behaving as pretty much any card with a magnetic strip: credit cards, gift cards, membership cards, etc. Coin allows you to select which card you want to use, and when you or a merchant swipe your credit card, the information for the appropriate card can be read from Coin.

I almost pre-ordered it, but stopped when I realized they charge my card now and not shipping until next summer. Not a fan of the pay and wait deal. I will definitely look into it when it is released though. I switch from my daily wallet to my going out wallet, which is just a few credit cards, my ID and cash. The Coin would be perfect for that!
