For those of us old enough to remember watching old spy movies from the Cold War era, there was a sense of mystery and danger associated with the lifestyle that made us wish we could become spies one day. The pinnacle of such films was the James Bond franchise, where the sexy cars, gorgeous women, and martinis made the life of a spy seem too alluring. However, the real showstoppers were always the gadgets that were hidden in mundane objects to conceal a deadly weapon or stealthily transport sensitive information.
Although the practical use of such gadgetry has become lost in a world of smartphones, it’s appeal still remains. For those lamenting the loss of the old-school approach to espionage, the Secret Stash Nickel offers a stealthy spy-like device to keep your small secrets safely concealed. It’s a replica of the false coins that were used to hide microfilm, spy games, and dead drops, and can hold a micro USB with your most sensitive data. Manufactured from real nickels, it’s indistinguishable to the naked eye, keeping your secret safe in your pocket. Just remember not to spend it.
