If You Love Dot Matrix Printers...

...then you need this wallet, printed in a classic dot matrix font with the first 3,000 digits of pi.

Available for $14.99 from perpetual kid.

Cool wallet! I know a guy who writes programs to compute pi to thousands of digits. This would make a great gift for someone like him.

Great idea! But i think that each separate digit of PI should be numbered, so the wallet can act as a quick reference if you want, say, PI to the 2014th place.
