What's in Your Wallet?

Wednesday, 11 June 2008

Yester-day, my tearing the lamination off a credit card that I was destroying caused it to release a strong smell like mineral spirits or turpentine, which odor I infer was actually that of vinyl chloride or some impurity. I've not had that experience before, though I've torn the laminate off quite a few cards over the years. The card in question was probably issued about two years ago.
