PaperCoins

The idea that someone could use a URL to their own server is a credible concern and not a whole lot can be done to stop it.

EV SSL (https with green bar) would help but surely there's a lot of people who wouldn't know to look or notice.

Idea would still work among known/trusted trading partners and as a proof of concept, but no magic bullet.

I'd be happy with improved CSS for bitaddress.org  I started playing around with the paper wallet layout, but couldn't come up with anything I liked more.

I was also trying to decide if its worth having it laid out so you can fold the note to cover the private key.

If you get a nice design, please post it. In the mean time, I got my hands on a business card holder that opens on a side, so I can put the bills with the qr code first. When I need one, I only extract haft the bills, enough to see the numbers on them, but not also the QR code. If someone can manage to steal the key in this way, they deserve the coins

I wonder if a better scheme might be to print papercoin QR codes in invisible ink.
You only need a UV light to scan it.

It's better (and cool) but I think it's a little too complicated to use (for both the buyer and the seller). A different paper layout that hides the QR code is much easier to do and offers the same security.
