Funny Money Friday: Aluminum Foil RFID Blocker Design Contest

Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

The news that credit card RFID signals can be read and stolen by identity thieves has launched a whirlwind of creativity here at Credit.com headquarters. We are launching a contest this morning to develop the most clever aluminum foil RFID blockers for credit cards.

Using just standard aluminum foil (no tape or staples) design an RFID blocking case for your credit cards. Send us a photo or camera phone picture of your final creation and we'll post it on the site. The best entries will win free copies of the book Credit Scores, Credit Cards.

Here are some of our designs to get your creative juices flowing:

Foil Case with Handle - Portable and fashionable!

Air Cooled Chambers - This case has air tubes to help keep your credit cards cool.

Hat/Pouch Case -  It's a handy pouch for your credit card that can double as alien mind control signal blocking hat.

Foil Fanny Pack -  This is my favorite design so far! It's a aluminum foil fanny pack with a pocket for holding your credit cards and other RFID embedded materials.
