(fwd question from Roy Davies to more appropriate forum)
========================================================
I received this request from someone in Brazil who is writing a short
article about the steps leading up to the development of smart cards for
financial transactions but was not able to answer the question.
Does anyone on this list know when magnetic stripe cards were introduced
and by whom?
Regards,
Roy
