'Power in numbers'

The B25 coin would be rechargeable, the B1 coin a spend-once item. ..think of it as a 25$ note and a $1 note, or a rewriteable USB-stick and a readonly one. It makes the bitcoin tangible. It's not a coin until I see a coin, so to me it just became a currency. I mean, it's got real coins that I can put in my mattress :-D

I think the idea is wonderful. Being able to transact in a currency without any need for a middleman. I just wish I could understand how Bitcoins work. :doh:
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I does indeed look cool. But since I have never seen anywhere (physical or virtual) that accepts them, I don't think they will become a part of my life in the way Paypal has any time soon. I also am not sure I like the "precharge" idea; and what if I want to spend more than B25? Do I have to enter a whole bunch of id numbers for different coins?
Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water

I doubt that it would be called legal tender soon, and I don't see parking-ticket-vending-machines accept those and return a few bitpennies change in the near future.

If you intend to spend them physically (assuming one finds someone who accepts the trade), then 25 B1 coins would sound more appropriate. The B25 screams "purse", since it's not a wallet - it doesn't fold.
