In what could be a quirky new device that promises to be as useful as it is cute, Coin, a credit card and a debit card consolidation device, promises to be the only card a person needs to carry. The device, which is just as big as a regular sized credit card, will store information of all the credit cards and debit cards a person carries on his wallet.
