CurrenKey Coin-Shaped Flash Drive: It's Almost a Good Idea [Storage]
Gizmodo —
... more portable—although, the coin-shape may prove problematic. It won't be long before your sensitive data ends up in the hands of some Starbucks employee. It is definitely thicker than a traditional coin, but the metal exterior of the USB 2.0 drive enhances the illusion, making it easy to lose in a pocket full of change. Still, at $20 for the 4GB version and $30 for the 8GB version, at least you are getting a decent amount of storage for the price. [LaCie via Crunchgear]

LaCie CurrenKey flash drive announced
SlashGear —
... asking to get lost, don’t you think? Sure, it’s a lot thicker than any coin I know of, but it’s most likely super light and could get lost in the shuffle of pocket clutter.
If this is something that interests you, however, the CurrenKey drive is available in a 4GB model that sports a bronze finish and an 8GB model in silver. Beginning at $19.99, they aren’t too big of an investment and might be just the storage you need from a reliable name.

LaCie CurrenKey, memorias USB con forma de moneda
Gizmología —
¿Por qué esto es una buena idea? Yo lo veo un poco ridículo, y más viniendo de LaCie.
Se trata de la memoria USB de 4GB CurrenKey, en forma de una moneda. La gracia esta en esto, que es como una moneda, con 4GB en color bronce y en color plata si es de 8GB por $29,99. Cuesta $19,99, ¿carne de cañón para regalo de navidad con prisas?

Too precious for their own good, perhaps, 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. I only wish they were a bit more ornate so that they looked more like real coins. Perhaps the designers were worried ...
