ThinkGeek has a set of plates designed by Leah Yael Levy that feature a planet from our solar system on each plate. The Planetary Plates are 10″ in diameter.

Coin may have been the one credit card to rule them all, but the Plastc card is the one card to hold them all. If you think I am talking some sort of Lord of the Rings cross over techno babble, I blame Julie for her first reference to this type of device. So, What’s
