Scratch card is an ancient companion of modern life

Scratch-card is an ideal tool for storing confidential information. With the help of a protective layer it is hidden from prying eyes and is accessible only to a specific user. Currently, such cards can be found everywhere.

They are a piece of plastic or laminated cardboard in a rectangular shape. In one of the corners of such a plate there is a field with information deposited. It is carefully hidden under the protective layer. The map does not shine through, and you can read the hidden data only by removing this most protective layer. He is removed by "scratching" from the surface of the card in the field of the selected field. In English, "scratch" is pronounced "scratch", so many believe that the name of the card has English roots and it is the English that are its creators.

In fact, the idea itself has its roots in the distant past. There lived one padishah in the Far East, and he had many wives. Every night he had to choose one of them. But all the wives were so adorable that the choice became for him a real torture. The confused padishah turned to his vizier for help. A clever servant, without thinking twice, found a way out. He took a sheet of paper and rashertil it on flat squares on the number of wives in the harem, adding one cage. In each square the vizier entered the names of the wives of his master and covered the sheet with a layer of antimony. Before going to sleep, the padishah chose one of the cells and, removing the protective layer from it, he recognized the name of the happy woman. This is tradition.

Then the scratch card went to France. The lottery was very popular there, and the card with the original protective layer was very useful. Soon this small plate won all of Europe, and from England, along with the settlers, has already reached the American continent. Nobody knows who brought it first to our country. Yes it does not matter.

Scratch card has become a true attribute of the modern world. Its original and simple idea has found its application in many areas. Similar cards are used by the founders of numerous lotteries in the form of tickets for drawings.

Internet providers use them as cards for express-payment access to the Internet. All without exception, mobile operators use scratch cards to access a personal pin code or password. There were phone cards that allow you to pay in advance minutes of conversation. Some organizations use such cards to provide consumers with special discounts and bonuses. Trading companies have recently been widely using discount cards for additional interest of buyers.
