Does anyone remember Bitbills? They did something sorta similar to this very early in the BTC revolution. Instead of all of this advanced multisig tech, instead they put the public key and address in a QR code on the outside and the private key in a QR code held inside the bill. They were likely much more vulnerable to attacks, but they died because they were too early not because of that.

Maybe they died because Bitcoin, a digital asset, is much easier to spend digitally than printing it and giving it physically to someone.
