magstripe reader
There are no magnets in credit cards. If you're referring to the 'magnetic strip' on the back of the card - it's a secondary system of identifying the card. When you insert your card into an ATM - the machine reads the magnetic strip which connects it to the account-holder's bank. Contrary to popular belief - it does not contain the PIN associated with the card.
It flows through the system and then moves to the left and pi= 3.14 then a dog eats your homework. Whoever reads this is smart.... eyeamawetard!

A magnetic stripe reader is used to read the information stored on the magnetic stripe on the back of cards like credit cards, entertainment cards, bank cards, and other similar cards. The magnetic stripe contains data such as account number and expiration date, which is swiped through the reader to facilitate transactions.
So you can use them. Otherwise they are nothing but peices of plastic. That's what the card scanner 'reads'. It contains the bank's identification and your account number, etc.
A magstripe reader is a device that reads data encoded in the magnetic stripe of credit cards, ID cards, and other similar cards. It captures information such as the cardholder's account number and name by swiping the card through a slot on the reader. This information can then be used for payment processing or identification purposes.
A card skimmer reads the back of credit and debit cards. It is a type of device employed to commit credit card fraud and identity theft.

Credit cards don't have a "balance on them." The reader essentially just reads the credit card number, then communicates with the credit card company's computers to find out if the purchase can be approved or not.
The information (card number, card holder name, and other information) is encoded as ones and zeros, then encoded magnetically as data bits onto the magnetic stripe. When the stripe is passed by the read head, it reads how each portion is magnetized (a North or South pole magnetization) and then outputs that as a 1 or 0 to the rest of the system.
Advantages:- Putting magnetic stripes on the cards are not expensive,so the cards are cheap.Disadvantages:- Magnetic stripes may get damaged or the stripe reader could break down.Sorry, I couln't think of lots but I got one: It contains up to only a certain amount of letters and words :)magnetic card readers operate on magnetic strips, which are inherently susceptable to erasure, it doesn't happen often but it does happen, there are more advantages than disadvantages. another disadvantage is that mag card readers take a lot of wear and tear, the read heads must meet the card with direct tension and precision. the read heads are usually impregnated with diamond dust to prevent wear on the heads so they may read millions of swipes without significant wear that would widen the swipe gap, this diamond dust tends to wear the mag stripe out on the card quicker than the head wears away. mag cards have three areas for data to be stored and these areas vary in bits per inch that may be written to the the areas. more precision is required for higher rates of data bpi. rfid is fast replacing magstripe, it has a more robust security protocol, isn't affected by enviroment and is as compact as the magstripe.
