Not a surprise given how everything in Japan is wrapped in plastic. Loved everything about visiting the place that was far ahead of the US except for this.

They started issuing them with chips a couple years ago. Most should have been replaced by now. But yes, this was a slight issue when traveling in previous times. Glad the US finally caught up.
