I used to work at a startup called prepay.com. At that time there were a bunch of competing electronic cash and prepaid cash card schemes.
Now you can buy Borders cards in a borders bookstore, just like buying a gift certificate.
I checked back in with the web-base cash equivalent companies, which are still there, but online stores have stopped accepting there cash equivalents as equivalent to cash.

Visa has a new cash equivalent card for parents to give to teens. The corporate market could probably find a use for such a thing as well.
