OK, I think I have it sussed, printing (usually) and UV overprint lined up, yay! #minecraft

I have a grandson who will be using this Netherite Ingot to tap-pay using his #Monzo card in the back.

That's a cool product. Will get questions at the checkout!

Not planning to sell, best I could do is publish the files maybe.

I bet retail staff are used to all sorts of shit these days, it all started with watches. So as long as it goes "ding" they are happy.

They were shocked when I started using my phone!

I just wish I could hook up an NFC tag and shove it in a teddy bear.

@tripplehelix I once removed the chip&pin from a bank card (non NFC) using a laser, and laser cut a recess in a printed plastic card so I could glue it in to the new card.

Result was a 100% custom printed card with a working bank chip in it.

Was amusing the one time I used it.

Oddly, these days, I could so easily over UV print a bank card with anything and it work for chip/pin and NFC.

I can see shops declining it, but then you could just use self checkout.

Hard to "decline", you whip it out and tap and it goes "ding", job done.

If they then want to cancel the transaction afterwards that would be just weird.

But then you remove the card from the ingot, all Minecraft over printed but with, say, monzo logo, and tap that, the same as before.

No what?

@RevK :verified_r: @🧝🏻 Thomas πŸ§™πŸ» I'm sure I read about someone many years ago who had managed to dissolve the plastic of an Oyster card and leave just the chip and antenna, which they then installed in a stick. They could then, in a full set of wizard robes and pointy hat, tap the end of their staff on the reader to open the gates to the underground.

Yeah, "Tube Gandalf" I remember that guy that was so much fun reading about :D
omg! You can make any card custom. I loved the custom design cards you could make. I always got people talking about mine last one I had.

@tripplehelix It is easier now most don't even do the embossing.
