I was looking at the mint credit card today. Have you seen it? It’s not shaped like a regular credit card. Well, the MC2 is not. They do have a regular boring card, but why anyone would choose that one when they could have this one I don’t know.

When this new shape was introduced in 2003, it was the first change in credit card shape in the UK in 37 years. Cool, huh? And the shape isn’t the only cool thing about it. It also comes with 0% interest on purchases and balance transfers until December 2007.

Mint also has prepaid gift cards in this same great shape. Unfortunately for us yanks, these cool mint cards are only available in the UK.
