Hmm, I thought this might be what Coin turned into but I see that onlycoin.com is still taking pre-orders for their all-in-one card. I get the consumer appeal but find the appeal for the banks less strong. I would love a one time credit card app where every time you swiped it, it changed numbers. And it seems making the card 'smart' like this could enable that sort of thing.

Has anyone received their Coin? I ordered in December and still have yet to receive it.

They are rolling it out very slowly. You should've received details in your email about the rollout. I have a friend who has received his already.

This is what we've wanted for a while, and exactly the product I'm working on right now. It's called Final. We can deliver one-time use numbers via our mobile app, and pay via NFC or our standard EMV card.

I met with one of the Coin founders and he had something really interesting to say on this topic. If apple-pay is successful it will disintermediate the banks from the money process/transaction. They are clearly not wanting this to happen and so are happy with things like plstc and coin.

Is Coin not even on the market yet? Hah, fancy — they started taking pre-orders almost a year ago. Would anyone pay $155 for a Plastic Card if they knew they wouldn't get it until October 2015?
