    Have you ever run into difficulty with needing to authenticate with chip+PIN? Like while traveling?

    That would be my big with with this; it would make it very difficult to pass a PIN check, to say the least!

    Super cool idea. I might just try it myself and see if I run into issues.

      What I modified was in fact a contactless payment token. It had the form factor of a payment card, but it only does NFC.

      I have another card for chip+pin.But I almost never use it where I live, because all limits were lifted on contactless payments a few years ago. If I try to pay something really expensive contactless, it will ask me for the pin - which is specific to the payment token.
