I'm almost ashamed to ask this simple question, but I have a physical .01 Bitcoin wallet that I printed directly from Coinbase.  It has a bunch of QR codes, the public key and the private key.  How do I import this .01BTC back directly into Coinbase.com?  I am an iOS user, so there is no iPhone app to scan the QR codes.

What is the best way to do this SECURELY? Thanks!

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

You would need a QR code scanner for your desktop computer.
Make sure to download a scanner you can trust.

As an additional security I would transfer the bitcoins immediately to a new address in case the private key you scanned has been compromised in the process.
If you find my post useful send some Bitcoin: 167XM1Za8aG9CdbYuHFMpL2kvPsw6uC8da

If the public key and private key are also there in text you just need those - the QR codes just represent those two key's...

I do, but they are REALLY long numbers. Which one do I enter? What if I enter them incorrectly?

I believe that Coinbase has a page for "import paper wallet".

This is where you would enter the private key.

If you enter it incorrectly, nothing will happen, and you'll have to try again until you correctly enter it.
