A dual layered magnetic card with an apparatus for reading data therefrom and recording data thereon. The magnetic card includes (a) a card body, (b) a first magnetic layer disposed on the card body, the first magnetic layer including a first magnetic material, (c) a second magnetic layer disposed on the first magnetic layer, the second magnetic layer including a second magnetic material having Curie temperature lower than that of the first magnetic material and a coercive force at an ambient temperature higher than that of the first magnetic material. Also disclosed is an apparatus for reading data on the magnetic card, having a reader, post processor and data eraser, and an apparatus for reading and recording data having a recorder, reader, post processor and a data eraser.

Dual layered magnetic data card with reading and recording apparatus

In the subject magnetic card, first magnetic recording layer 2 is laid over substrate 1. First magnetic recording layer 2 has a coercive force that enables magnetic recording of data. Second magnetic recording layer 4, having a coercive force smaller than that of first magnetic recording layer 2, is laid over first magnetic recording layer 2, with shielding intermediate layer 3 interposed therebetween. Magnetic shielding layer 5 is provided as an uppermost magnetic layer.

Magnetic card

A flexible magnetic diskette used for magnetically storing various information which is recorded and read by a magnetic head. The diskette includes a flexible plastic disk sheet uniformly coated with magnetic material and having a mount hole at its center, and a holder for securing the disk sheet over the periphery of the mount hole. The holder is also made of a plastic material for holding the flexible disk sheet over the peripheral portion of the mount hole via a double-sided adhesive ring. A core member is made of a magnetic metal having a high abrasive resistance and rigidly attached to the holder over at least a part of a surface of the holder, with which a drive unit is engaged.
