Chip and pin machine breaks... and it's MY fault.

[cinema guy]

We have one chip and pin machine machine on the kiosk (at least until the refit is finished). Its keys are really sticky - why? Because costomers have spilled coke on it.

I was wondering wtf a chip and pin was? lol.
Its just a debit machine over here.

Oh, so the the 'chip' bit is that little gold thing I've seen embedded in some debit/credit cards? I've always wondered where people can use that, since in Aus, ATMs and eftpos machines are standard...

What do the two parts look like when they are separate?

My ANZ card has both a magstrip and a chip... But no where reads the chip. http://www.anz.com/aus/ind/creditcar...irst/first.asp on the back is a magnetic strip.
