“Amazon has launched its own currency called Amazon Coins, MailOnline reports. It’s currently only available for US Kindle Fire owners, but the Coins can be used to pay for games, apps and in-app purchases from the Amazon Appstore. One Amazon Coin is worth one penny, and Kindle Fire owners are getting 500 Coins ($5) for free as part of the launch. The Coins will also be able to be used on the company’s retail site when they become more widely available. Amazon Coins can be bought in batches of 1000, 2500, 5000 and 10,000. The more you buy, the bigger the discount and 10,000 Coins costs $90, for example.”
