LaCie has a new USB flash drive that comes in the form of a coin, and has been dubbed the CurrenKey for wordplay with the origin of its design. The entire exterior is made out of metal to help it look as close to its namesake as possible, and is connected to a computer via USB 2.0. The 4GB model will come with a bronze exterior while the larger 8GB model takes on a silver approach, retailing from $19.99 upwards. Hopefully you won't mistake this for an actual coin when you're in a hurry, or otherwise your precious data will also disappear along with the CurrenKey itself, accompanied by a bunch of other coins.
