Hiding Micro Sd's In Coins

That SD coin hider is neat....but

I posted a coin like this from ebay a while back:

OTTOMAN EMPIRE SILVER COIN WITH BANK CARD CHIP

"The model was made in 2012, signed and dated by the author - Evgeni Mateev, Bulgaria.
We would like to remind you that the buying of the GMO antique may be an investment with a far greater yield than the one of the investment gold"

...then there is this idea:

2015 50g Proof Silver Coin - Nano Life with Nano Chip

"The Nano Chip of the latest generation provides an insight into the evolution of life on our planet.
Under the microscope one finds informative details and illustrations of Evolution across the last 542 million years"

Staff edit - Concealing SD Cards is one thing, but we DO NOT want to promote concealment of this type

Seen em... they're at any spy shop or ebay.

And... aarspeed, WHY did you have to bring that sacrilegious Franken coin up again!?

I do kinda like that nanocoin though

Hey coppercastle, ive met and chatted with dan Aykroyd. Didn't know he was a coin collector though. We mostly talked about movies and crystal head vodka. Every time I see your signature I think "darn, missed a great convo topic"

While it may have formerly been known as the "hobby of kings," today it has become the "king of hobbies". Whereas in earlier times it was pursued primarily by noblemen with ample resources, in present days, coin collecting enjoys a wide following of enthusiastic collectors at all levels of society. In fact, due to a groundswell of new collectors in the past ten years, the U.S. Mint recently estimated the number of coin collectors in America alone to now be upwards of 140 million.

Other famous coin collectors are:

Wayne Gretzky, Penny Marshall, Buddy Epsen, James Earl Jones, Jerry Buss, Tony Blair, Chris Schenkel, Jerome Kern,
Enrico Caruso, Hoagy Carmichael, John Larroquette, Bruce Williams, Andre Dawson, Dennis Rodman, Louis XIV, Victor Emmanuel III, King Farouk...other world leaders known for their coin collecting interest have included U.S. presidents John Quincy Adams and Franklin D. Roosevelt...Israeli military leader and foreign minister Moshe Dayan; and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.


Italy's King Victor Emmanuel III was more than just a collector; he was a true numismatic scholar who considered coins the great passion of his life. Upon his abdication in 1946, he donated his collection - more than 100,000 coins from ancient times to modern - to the people of Italy. He also left a magnificent gift to future generations of collectors: a 20-volume catalog of Italian coinage through the centuries, which took him 12 years to write.

Going all the way back to the first half of the 20th century, famed American composer Jerome Kern built one of the finest private coin collections of that time. Kern, who penned hundreds of hit songs including such standards as "Ol' Man River" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," among others, also had a keen eye for "hit" coins. Among the many treasures in his collection were an ultra-high-relief 1907 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle and a gem proof 1842 small-date Liberty Seated quarter. Five years after his death, famous Texas coin dealer B. Max Mehl sold Kern's collection at a glittering auction in 1950.

In times past, France's "Sun King," Louis XIV, found such pleasure in the French Royal Coin Collection that he visited it daily and confided that he could "always find something new to learn."

Egypt's King Farouk was more of a voracious accumulator than a serious collector, but some of his coin acquisitions were spectacular - including a 1933 Saint-Gaudens double eagle which currently ranks as the highest-priced coin ever sold. It brought $7.59 million at a New York City auction in 2002.

Sports fans from all around the world remember the venerable personality of sportscaster Chris Schenkel. For several decades, Schenkel covered a wide range of sporting events, from Olympic Games to professional bowling, during a distinguished career that literally took him around the world as the voice of ABC-TV's Wide World of Sports. Off camera, Schenkel spent much of his private time pursuing a personal passion ­collecting coins. Over the course of his life, he assembled an impressive collection, including an exceptional set of early U.S. quarters. In fact, his collection was so vast that it included enough desirable coinage to help fill a 436-page catalog of 3,404 lots when it went on the auction block in 1990.

Buddy Ebsen,best remembered today as Jed Clampett from The Beverly Hillbillies, Ebsen had a long and successful career on stage and screen. He famously lost the role of the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz because of an illness he developed caused by a reaction to aluminum dust in his makeup. Still, Buddy Ebsen went on to great success as one of America's best loved actors, and subsequently became an avid and especially knowledgeable coin collector. Ebsen was fond of United States gold coins in particular and accumulated a complete gold type set, a set of the Panama-Pacific commemorative coins in their original copper frame and a gem proof 1879 coiled hair Stella, among other notable coins. In 1987, Ebsen sold his collection at a major public auction and then, perhaps to show he wasn't abandoning the hobby, he co-founded the Beverly Hills Coin Club with a younger actor, Chris Aable.
