Money made by affixing, to the back of ordinary playing cards, the seal of the Treasurer in wax and the signatures of the Governor and Intendant, and first issued in 1685 by French colonial authorities as a remedy against the scarcity of regular currency. Full cards, half cards, quarter cards, and even portions of clipped cards were used. Even if meant to be a temporary financial expedient, card money nevertheless was used as a medium of exchange for a period of approximately 75 years.

DEF

Monnaie consistant en des cartes à jouer portant le sceau du trésorier et la signature du Gouverneur et de l'Intendant, émise pour la première fois en 1685 par les chefs de la colonie française pour remédier à une pénurie de monnaie régulière. On employait des cartes entières, des demi-cartes, des quarts de cartes, et même des parties de cartes tronquées. L'utilisation de la monnaie de carte devait servir de remède provisoire; elle n'en resta pas moins d'un usage courant pendant près de 75 ans.

Record 6 1991-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Security Devices
CONT

The Weigand card contains a series of parallel wires embedded in the bottom half of the card. The wire is a specially treated ferromagnetic wire which produces a sudden change in magnetic flux when exposed to a slow changing magnetic field. Each wire in the badge can be assigned a logic "0" or "1" by placing it in the proper position relative to the resetting magnets and sensing coils in the card reader. This type of badge is impervious to accidental erasure and it is difficult to alter or duplicate.(Protection of Assets Manual, volume 1, section 8-27.) Cost is approximately $6. 00 each.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dispositifs de sécurité
CONT

Carte Weigand. Contient une série de fils parallèles enchâssés dans sa moitié inférieure. Il s'agit de fils ferromagnétiques qui produisent un changement soudain de flux magnétique lorsqu'ils sont exposés à un lent changement du champ magnétique. On peut conférer une valeur logique (0 ou 1) à chaque fil en plaçant la carte dans la position appropriée par rapport à l'aimant de réarmement et aux bobines de détection du lecteur de cartes. Les densimètres de ce genre ne peuvent être effacés accidentellement. En outre, il est difficile de les modifier ou de les reproduire (Protection of Assets Manual, volume 1, section 8-27). Ils coûtent environ 6 $ l'unité.
