What are you talking about? Credit cards have been around since the 1950's
- Kye 2y agoFor much of their history they were written down or copied on carbon paper and manually processed by phone later. Electronic processing came in the 70s and wasn't universally used until much later. I saw plenty of credit card imprinters in use well into the 90s when I was growing up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_imprinter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_imprinter Card issuers only stopped embossing them recently.
