Harrisburg,United States - December 9, 2022 /PressCable/ —
For several decades, business cards have remained more or less the same, aside from some minor cosmetic changes. Gray Water Ops, a veteran-owned business based in Harrisburg, PA, has launched a unique alternative that uses patented NFC technology to provide instant digital data transfers of contact information with a single tap of a custom coin.

Using the new NFC option, clients can choose any relevant information and have it stored on their personalized coin to be transferred to potential contacts. To complete a transfer, a coin only has to be touched briefly to a smartphone or other device that has NFC technology, which includes nearly all smartphones manufactured in the last decade.
While traditional business cards are often lost, damaged, or discarded as wallets become crowded, using digital transfers solves these problems. Business information can be automatically and instantly added to a smartphone’s contact list without a user having to enter any information manually.
The new luxury business card alternative has several other advantages as well, including reusability. The coins can transfer information an unlimited number of times without ever needing to have business cards re-printed, and users never need to worry about carrying a stack of cards with them or running out and missing a networking opportunity.
Every coin is fully customizable, both aesthetically and in terms of the data it stores. Gray Water Ops is known for creating thicker, heavier, and more detailed coins than other challenge coin services, with the option to add layers of 3D details.
Though the coins can be used as an alternative to traditional business cards, the use of NFC technology opens a whole range of potential uses, many of which have not been fully explored yet. By pairing the coins with an NFC tag reader, they can be used for other actions that includes launching a website in a browser, sending a text or connecting to a Google maps pinned location. With additional custom programming, the coins and chips can be connected to a website database or complete an electrical circuit, such as opening security doors or storing blockchain crypto currency totally offline.
Since each coin can easily store a unique ID number, businesses could also use the coins for customer loyalty programs or storing login information. The coins can also be programmed to store passwords, websites, or map details that would be displayed on a smartphone as soon as a user tapped the coin to their device.
Currently the functionality is much broader on an android platform. iPhones started adding NFC technology to their phones in 2018. To read the chip on both iPhone and android devices, the NTAG216 NFC chip must be NDEF formatted on an iPhone. Any data stored on the chip will launch on iPhone or Android.
