Have you held and inspected one? The thing is pretty ridiculous in its tolerances. It's not on the same scale as a modern rocket, but I'm willing to bet the microscopic tolerances and knowledge of metallurgy / material science (titanium alloys) is on a similar plane.

  If its like every other metal credit card, it's a stamped piece of metal that comes from sheet stock. Then they glue the metal front onto a plastic backing that has the magstripe.

    It's not like the others. Which you'd know if you had checked one out before posting.

It is a minor marvel that titanium can now be wasted on disposable ephemera.
