[nfb-talk] Credit cards

[Michael Hingson]

I have processed many credit cards with a card reader on my iPhone.  My
experience is that people who put Braille lables on their cards make reading
the cards harder.  I have not yet seen a pre-Brailled card, but I wonder how
the Braille is placed and how high are the dots in order not to have
problems. 


Best,


Michael Hingson
