On a superficial level they seem almost identical, but I don't understand the idea behind Amazon coins well yet. What makes them so different? I've always considered gift cards a sort of currency, like the coins are.
s702: it's virtually impossible to have a discussion if you reply to comments like this, the reply button and comment threading are made just for this purpose.
I don't see anything in the FAQ or press releases that indicates amazon coins will be fungible or splittable. Do you have a source that you can gift some of your coins to other users?
- cs702 14y agorm999: sorry for replying to your comment above instead of below it. I was about to reply to it below, but then thought that adding the clarification at the top would be more helpful for everyone else. Thanks for pointing this out. The Amazon press release calls Amazon Coins a "virtual currency," which by definition means they're fungible and subdividable.
- Dylan16807 14y agoThat's a pretty circular argument. You know the term fits because it has the attributes of the term, which you know because they used the term.
