I bought this usb flash drive last week. The size of this product is much bigger than any coins that I've ever seen. It more like a chocolate coin anyway. But the shape is lovely, indeed.
The most important deficiency is the use of the drive is quite not easy. Because of its design, I must twist the shell to reveal the USB connector. But when I tried to plug the connector in the USB interface, the connector slipped back into the shell. So I must hold on the shell to keep the USB connector outside the shell. I think this problem may bring the users some trouble.

I like the design; rotate the bezel of the coin and the USB plug extends. Very James Bond. Seems solidly made, but not heavy. Works very well.

It is a unique style of drive, and makes a nice gift for someone special, but cheaper flash drives are available. Lacie is known for high level of quality and known for standing behind their products, in my experience.
