No aqua regia needed.

So.

We have credit cards. From a bank.

Made out of... metal. Which, really, is a pain in the ass, not the "high end card" they're trying to claim it is.

I was wondering what we would end up doing with the card once it expired (in 2022) or when -more probably, and what ended up happening- the card gets stolen. Because there was no cutting these suckers.

I figured that when the time came for a new card, I'd have to procure some aqua regia to get rid of these damn cards.

But no. They sent us an envelope to send the cards back in.

Much more practical. But SO much less fun than attempting to procure aqua regia.....

My husband has one card that's sort of metallized and extra heavy (I don't know if it's actually solid metal). Fortunately we have a corner notcher in the garage ;)

Oooh, clever! I never thought to check what could be done with the implements of destruction in the garage....

Alas, as boring as it may be, I mailed the cards back to the bank. Big sigh.
