McDonald's® Arch Card (prepaid gift card) featuring Jake Sully in Na'vi avatar form from James Cameron's Avatar (2009).
I got it from a McDonald's restaurant in Littleton, CO. They are supposedly hard to find, as I found our later, and it was the last one on the shelf. I wasn't even an Avatar fan at the time but I'm glad I have it now!
-------------------------
I ended up activating the card today so I could put it in my wallet and use it. It feels a little bad to scratch it up swiping it through the reader, but now I have a real reason to keep with with me all the time! Yay!
The card takes up space, but I get less jingly change that I have to carry. You know how the total always comes to some odd amount like $2.16, thus prompting you to break a bill and receive a large amount of coin currency in return? Not with Arch Card!
Plus, if you have enough $1s to pay for your food and some remaining amount on the card, you can split tender and pay the fractional dollar amount with the card. If you have $5 to spare, normally it's easier just to reload the card.
Where this really comes in handy is when you don't have the extra dollar on hand, just the dollar or two for your food items. You can give them a dollar and debit $0.08 from your card. Franchise owners pay no transaction or interchange fees on Arch Card, so feel free to use it as a McCoinPurse™.
I don't keep more than $10 on it at any given moment. They do offer to replace lost cards if you have the receipt, which is a rarity among gift card issuers, but offer no protection against unauthorized use (nobody does). I also don't visit McDonald's more than once or twice a week.
