HSBC Visa Card

HSBC Visa Card

 

 

Date: 1998 - 2000

Materials: Plastic

Origin: Europe

In the past 20 years credit and debit cards have become more and more important in our everyday lives. Today we use them for all our big purchases. We can even use them to buy things abroad.

Although we use ´plastic´ instead of ´real money´ for so many things today, banknotes and coins are still very important to many of us as symbols of national sovereignty. Just think of the arguments about the Euro.
