Original as in first one to put magstrip reader on the gas pump on Florin Road, Sacramento, California 1981. Philips started making compact tape recorder heads in 1963. Magstrip on credit card has been around since 1969 (American Express) and on bank ATM card since 1971. I got my First Interstate ATM card in 1977 and got to hacking then. Also, we sold accompanied magnetic cards then as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_card#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_card#History
