Have anyone seen any of those old credit card processors in use? The slide with the carbon paper copy, or are they all out of use now?


AFAIK they still work, and can be used in case of emergency like a credit card hack

No, you don't have to have a metal card. I have never had a metal card, the raised numbers on the plastic cards always worked fine.

My newest card doesn't have raised numbers, though, so if ever I encountered one of those again, they would have to write in the numbers.

Only metal card I ever heard of was the AMEX Black Card.

I remember when library cards had a little metal plate with your number.
