Please someone...
Why on earth are there still ATMs with magnetic stripe readers in some countries?
Where I travel I don't run into those anymore. Because if I did it wouldn't work - I've found that with enough magnetic stripe cards in the wallet they effectively de-magnetize each other. I currently have exactly one (very new) VISA debet card with a functioning magnetic stripe, which I use for parking only, as there are still a few very old magnetic stripe machines around. The other cards can't be read. (Someone could put a pinhole camera on the parking lot reader.. doesn't matter, as no pin is entered. Cost is up to ~a dollar or so, so they don't bother with the pin.)
