Chip Chick —
... Lacie just announced their new CurrenKey Coin-Shaped USB keys, and we’re left saying “why didn’t I think of that”.

Anyway, Currenkey comes in 4GB and 8GB capacities and resembles “contemporary coinage.” They’ll also make great stocking stuffers, just remember not to use them at the Laundromat. ...

LaCie CurrenKey, USB flash drives that look like coins
Boing Boing Gadgets —
... but I don't care: I think the LaCie CurrenKey USB Flash Drives, shaped like thick coins and cast in bronze or silver, are very cute.

Give the coins a little twist and the USB fob slips out.
Prices are fittingly reasonable: $20 for the 4GB "Penny" and $30 for the 8GB "Dime".
