Abstract

The improvements consist in giving so-called smart cards or cards incorporating a microchip in one of their faces a deformation 2 which defines an embossing or overdimensioning which prevents the incorrect insertion of the card 1 into the corresponding groove provided for this purpose in the machine, device or apparatus where a chip card reader system is installed. The deformation or overdimensioning 2 is produced on one of the faces of the card close to one of the extreme edges, defining an embossing which increases the thickness of the card in this region or at this point in order to provide a stop which prevents the incorrect insertion of such a card. <IMAGE>
