[QuadList] Magnetic paychecks was: Another disaster

[georgenann at aol.com]

Thank you for the info, it is interesting.  I guess that most of us never thought about it,  just that the mag ink was there and the banks used it and lets have fun with it. I guess someone had to design it and manufacture it.  I wish some of the guys who did it were around, I'm sure they would find this interesting.



This was done in the late 60's or early 70's because I think the mag ink business stopped around the mid 70's if my memory is correct.

Tnx Agn, 73,

George Keller

back then the CBS paychecks had magnetic ink on them and they degaussed the checks which made the banks work a little harder. (The way  the banks are acting nowadays, I think I would do the same thing now if they had magnetic ink.) HI!
