![Checking In on Coin, 15 Years Later [Day 4 30 Days of Podcast Notes]](https://images.beamly.com/fetch/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.rss.com%2Fstreamlined-podcaster%2Fpodcast_cover_20260916_122857_a7aaeae9723ee3f8a0758f9d13809543.jpg?w=365)
After three days of talking about the TIL Podcast, I dug through the archive to find the very first thing we covered on that show: Coin, a connected card that was supposed to replace every card in your wallet. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet killed the product, but the domain is still live — now pointed at beginner crypto guides. Whoever is running it started sloppy, did their research, and iterated, which was not the tie-in I planned when I started digging.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:06 Hello and welcome to day four of 30 days of podcast
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 notes. I thought, you know, the last three days,
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12 the last three episodes, I was talking about
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15 my very first podcast, the TIL podcast, and I
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20 did some digging into the archive to find the
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 first thing that we talked about on the show,
00:00:22 --> 00:00:30 and it was this digital card digital wallet thing
00:00:30 --> 00:00:36 called coin and i thought it would be fun to
00:00:36 --> 00:00:42 check in and see if that is still around nearly
00:00:42 --> 00:00:48 15 years later so uh digital credit card it's
00:00:48 --> 00:00:55 called uh the i was i managed to find a blog
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 post i wrote around the time it came out Coin
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 is a connected device that can hold and behave
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 like the cards you already carry. Coin works
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 with debit cards, credit cards, gift cards. And
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09 if I recall correctly, you had this button on
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13 the card that would switch between the cards.
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19 Now, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet very decidedly
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24 killed this product. But I did click the link
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27 in the blog post. and it still went to the website
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32 OnlyCoin .com. And the headline here is Get Crypto
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36 Confident Clear Independent Guides for Beginners
00:01:36 --> 00:01:43 Who Want to Understand Crypto Honestly. So still
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46 kicking. I don't know how well it's kicking.
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 I mean, I can't really tell if this website is
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53 AI generated, but. Apparently, the purveyors
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56 of the domain are still around, so I decided
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59 it would be fun to check in. Which, I guess,
00:01:59 --> 00:02:04 really goes back to the tips from the last few
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 days, right? Start sloppy, do your research,
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 and iterate. And they have done all three here,
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 so very poetic, though I didn't mean for it to
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15 be. But that's it for this episode of the 30
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 Days of Podcast Notes. Episode four, checking
00:02:18 --> 00:02:23 in. and stay tuned tomorrow for another episode.
