Abstract: Financial transaction and similar cards are fabricated with a split core adapted to received embedded electronic circuitry. The card core has two or more laminated layers. The cavity is milled into one or more of the layers to receive the electronic circuitry. The core layers are then laminated together, along with protective overlays. Alternative fabrication methods include co-extrusion and injection molding.
Abstract: A wallet card adapted for use in reading externally stored information includes a transparent, substantially non-foldable semi-rigid base. The semi-rigid base includes a magnifying lens. The lens is formed by heating a lens forming die to a temperature sufficient to soften the base material and then cooling the die prior to withdrawing the die from the base material.
