What it says in the title.
Very small. Can be carried on a keyring. Smaller than an SD card. Numbers laser etched onto surface.
Needs an adapted physical reader (or a "full-size" carrier card, which are Baked) but uses the same software etc.
Also supports NF contactless payments.

It would be very easy to lose. However, if you opted
instead for the micro-SIM format, you could have the
thing laminated onto one of your incisors, and make
payments simply by biting the reader. |

I would quite like this embedded in a ring, so you press your fist into the card reader. |
|
|
The problem would be getting a good connection to the pins for the duration of the transaction. The only viable solution I can see to this is to have the card reader shaped like a gargoyle whose teeth clamp down onto the ring when inserted and only release once the correct pin has been entered. |

Not a gargoyle: a lion's head, like the one in Rome,
where you put your hand in its mouth, and make a
statement, and, if you lie, it bites your hand off: "I
swear there is money in this account to cover the
transaction" "I solemnly attest I am the owner of this
vehicle" ... chomp. "Aieee! call a doctor!" |
