Reference: LoCo magnetic banking card strips/stripes Reference information: "Magstripes come in two main varieties: high-coercivity (HiCo) at 4000 Oe and low-coercivity (LoCo) at 300 Oe." [see Web reference below] -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2010-08-12 12:43:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- What is Oe? "Oersted (abbreviated as Oe) is the unit of magnetizing field (also known as magnetic field strength or intensity) in the CGS system of units."
