Seems crazy that it only holds 8 cards. I'm not about to go through all this effort only to replace some of the cards in my wallet but not all of them.

#12For some reason, all the cards I keep in my wallet get destroyed. I have a decent leather wallet but they still crack and chip and the paint rubs off. I don't know if I want that to happen to a $100 device.
Does this happen to anyone else? It has happened with the last two wallets I've owned.

#13"Works like a debit card when you swipe it" - I'd probably get this if I wouldn't effectively be paying several hundreds of dollars per year for it in losses of credit card rewards.
You won't lose any rewards. It's cloning your credit card number and info and using it like it was your real card. Their FAQ's address this.

Out of curiosity, how many do you have? I think 8 would cover all of the cards I use at least once every 4 months.

It seems to me that the creators would have investigated this before building hardware?

I guess it depends on how many cards you have. I suspect it's also a limit of the first run costs, and could increase in future.
Personally I only have one card, so I don't really have that problem :D

#18"Q. Will my Coin work outside the U.S.?
A. Not in all cases.
U.S.-based customers: Coin will work overseas, but we recommend that you bring a backup card when you travel.
Customers located outside of the U.S.: Coin does not support EMV yet. If the country you live it requires it we recommend holding off your purchase for now."
Found this in FAQ

#19I assume that the Chip-and-pin system isnt standard in the US like it is in the UK. Can a similar technology be applied to chips?

The app holds infinite cards, as long as you carry your phone.
