Hollow Spy Coins

Posted by kdawson on from the pocket-changer dept.

Bruce Schneier's blog links to a few sources for hollow spy coins, one being BoingBoing's Bazaar — where a nickel that can hold a microSD card costs $27. Another is Slashdot's sister company ThinkGeek, where you can get hollow quarters and half-dollars in the low 20s. As if corporate and government security geeks didn't have enough to worry about.

  1. Spyfolder by DeanLearner · · Score: 5, Funny

    Give me 20 quid and I will install a SPY FOLDER on your computer, whether it's Windows, Mac or Linux.

    You too can store things INSIDE your very own SPY FOLDER. Features include

    Store things inside.
    Keep things separate from other things that are not inside your SPY FOLDER.
    All this and more!

    Again, all yours for just 20 quid. Call 555-HAPPYDUDE now.

    It must have been really hard grinding those coins out with a hand drill...

    I'm sorry, I'll get off your lawn.

    Use red paint to mark a clear X on all your spy coins. That's what I do and I haven't accidentally spent one yet.

    Support microSD: in a post 9/11 world, it is unwise to carry your data on media that you cannot comfortably swallow.

    Get your genres straight; we're talking about spies, not private dicks.
