Will future versions of Dekart support multiple pins on the same key. Currently I have 2 or 3 users sharing the same physical key, they insert the key it asked for a pin (which have to be shared currently), then the individual chooses the user. It would be perferable to ask which user then have the user enter the pin associated with the account.

This is not a correct approach, especially from the security point of view.
The right thing to do is issue three keys to three different people. In your case, you're using the same physical key for more than one person. As a result, if the key is lost, and somebody finds it and (by the force of magic, or if there is a leak of information from an insider) finds the PIN, you get three compromised accounts, instead of one.
If your objective is to cut down costs, use USB flash drives or flash memory cards, they are cheaper than smart cards or tokens, but the entire set up is still more secure.
