I read this in Armory's FAQ, and opposes some other things I've seen. What kind of key are they talking about here?
"Each bitcoin (or fragment of) belongs to a cryptographic private key, which is an 80-digit number that is essentially impossible to guess."
https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/faq/
Could be the decimal representation of a private key but the end range can only be 78 characters long.
That FAW page is way outdated by the way, the latest Armory website is "btcarmory"
Another thing is, Armory's first Alpha release was on "Feb 15, 2012", that's 2 years past after you received your Bitcoins.

I'll try to download some old versions of Armory and see if I can find an 80-character private key like described in the old FAQ.
You can also directly ask in Armoty sub-board (link) if the new developer GoatPig knows about what etotheipi said in the FAQ.
