Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate destruction of data and increase the quantity of data by mounting a nonvolatile memory on the card substrate, providing plural contacts on the edge of the card substrate and connecting these contacts and terminals of the nonvolatile memory by a printed circuit. CONSTITUTION:The credit card is made by mounting a nonvolatile memory, for instance a nonvolatile RAM3 on the card substrate, and connecting each terminal of the memory to plural contacts 5 provided on the edge of the substrate 2 through a printed circuit 4. When using, the credit card is inserted into a card reading device from an insertion slit and required data in RAM3 are read. If necessary, an operation button is depressed to perform necessary exchange of information between the device.
