MAGNETIC STRIPESMagnetic stripes are used in a variety of applications, from POS systems to access control and more. They come in two main varieties: high-coercivity (HiCo) and low-coercivity (LoCo). High-coercivity mag stripes are harder to erase, and are more appropriate for cards that are frequently used or require extended life. Low-coercivity mag stripes require a lower amount of magnetic energy to record, reducing their cost. A card reader can read either type of mag stripe.
