This is a sample I made recently which I thought turned out pretty ok.
There are some imperfections, with a few more iterations I should be able to get them pretty clean.

This one right now is the same size of a cc.

Was wondering what you guys think? Any suggestions or feedback is welcomed.

In terms of materials, how much does it cost you to print one of these? <$0.25?

With such a large font size, I'd focus on just providing the firstbits, and not the full address.  Or at least doing something to indicate what characters make up the firstbits, so a user wouldn't have to type in the whole address to make a payment to the address.

Cool idea, definitely needs some refinement.

Right now it's a cut out, but why not have the text just be impressions, so concave. That way you can have the eyes of the characters show up.

Just my 2 satoshis.

What would you use it for?
Just novelty?

Why wouldn't you order regular business cards, and print a QR code on them?
That way, they won't look like they were made by a kindergartener.

It costs < 0.05 $ in materials to make something this big
 
Yes it needs refining. I didn't put alot of time into it, was just curious to see what people thought if I posted something like this, thanks for some of your constructive input.

I just thought it might be cool to have something in my pocket with an address on it.
Just a way I could give someone an address to send payments for example? Plastic is waterproof and more durable than paper ?
I was just curious to see how the text would turn out.

Was just thinking what could be made...
It could be possible to make your own physical "coins" or other physical "objects" with bitcoins embedded inside them.
By inserting the keys into a cavity in the middle of construction, sealing it inside a physical object.
When you want to get access to it, you have to break it open to get into it.


People are different, and not everyone wants a "regular business card" b!z.
