- The latest company to launch their own virtual currency is Amazon! The guys have announced Amazon Coins which allows customers to pay for apps on the companies app store and you can make some in app purchases with the currency too! If you're a Kindle Fire owner in the US then you're one of the lucky few to first get the currency and you'll be given $5 worth which is 500 coins. We expect this currency will be a bit more stable than BitCoin! Full details are available on Amazon's site here!
