EDY Cash Card for Arcade Use

Something I noticed at the AOU show last week but only recently put together with actual facts was the EDY contactless cash-card from Bitwallet.

What’s this thing?

Found this white Saturn the other day. It has a Sonic silhouette on the lid. What is it? Where’s it from? I can’t find any info on it at all… If you know anything, please leave a comment!
