Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9963482A1] The invention relates to a stack of smart cards, provided with means for attaching the cards to each other. Each smart card is provided with at least one magnet having a north and a south pole. In the assembled position of the stack the magnets of adjacent smart cards are neighbouring each other wherein the north pole of a first card's magnet neighbours the south pole of a second card's magnet and the south pole of the first card's magnet neighbours the north pole of the second card's magnet so as to form a closed magnetic circuit.
