Anyone remember some of the first cashcards ?
Thin plastic about the size of a playing card. They had a series of punched out ' chads ' and had to be bought from the bank in advance.
I remember having a couple of £10 ones.....wages were about £24 a week IIRC.
Useful for cash on a weekend when the banks were shut, but I don't know how extensive the machine network was.
You had to draw out the total on the card as well !
