the keys come in two different storage capacities
'currenkey' is a usb flash drive in the shape of a coin, by 5.5 designers for lacie.
indicated on the face of the coin is the drive's storage capacity. the bronze edition offering 4GB of memory
and the silver one having a capacity of 8GB. 'currenkey' is meant to be a reflection on the value which we grant
our data and the price we pay in order to store it safely in the IT capital.
usb keys these days are a dime a dozen, and often they cost more than the amount of storage memory
they provide. in this case the usb becomes a real piece of currency, reminding us of the excessive capitalization
put on consumer goods.
to use the flash drive, you twist the coin to reveal the key
a different type of currency
