Nano Caches

Does anyone know what these were originally designed for? I noticed that some of them have a little circuit board or chip in the cap.

The term "blinky" is historical: they were originally little blinking lights that would be built into novelty items. I only vaguely remember them when they were popular, but I've found a couple nanos as you describe, made out of an actual blinky with the internals still intact and the log in the battery compartment, and that reminded me of the original use. Until I found one of those, I'd forgotten about that older use and thought they were originally designed for geocaching.
