I love using my debit card just so I don’t end up with tons of coins. As sad as it is, today many people are the same way. Even my grandparents throw all of their change into giant glass mason jars. eCoin was designed around the idea that coins are getting used less and less everyday. This cool invention is a digital representation of coins. The semantic values are derived from existing coins and their graphics. This device is equipped with a small LCD display, a few buttons, and infrared receiver and transmitter controls. It runs on a small lithium battery and it can provide you with your balance, transfers, or received amount information with the currency name. Sounds like a pretty cool invention to me. Definitely futuristic. Sort of sounds like a portable bank
