[Electronics-talk] My brailled ATM cards are here

[Beverly Crook]

I would think that the number is written on the paper that the card came on. 
I think you mentioned that you had Open Book, so maybe scan the paper.

Retrieving my credit card information once I obtain it is not the problem.
The problem is finding someone trustworthy enough to read it to me in the
