ABSTRACT:
A card reader (10) is provided that comprises a forward gate (58) that prevents access to the interior of the card reader (10) by other than standard credit card-sized items. Side retainers (36), (38) and (40) coupled to retaining arms (28) and (30) serve to retain appropriately-sized cards and to eject cards which are not long enough. Rear retainers (54) and (56) serve to maintain appropriately-sized cards in contact with an electrical contact (74) of an electrical contact board (72). A fraud prevention antenna (86) prevents access to the electrical systems within card reader (10) from systems outside of card reader (10). A magnetic stripe reader (22) is included in a card guide (16) to allow card reader (10) to also use magnetic stripe cards.
