What seemed weird when I visited your country

Most German debit cards have been replaced by V-Pay/Girocard cards over the course of the last few years actually. Which is bad, as these are not as internationally accepted as Maestro cards.

I've never understood that. Is a four-digit number not easier to remember and reproduce than a signature?
ankhtahr:
A few things: You show your signature to basically anyone, but you keep the PIN a secret. And if found out, a PIN can be changed. Your signature can't.
Metope:
I forged my mom's signature on a test I failed when I was 10 and I didn't get found out. Signatures are super easy to fake!
Method of Madness:
My signature when signing for card purchases is far from consistent. Sometimes it's the real thing, sometimes it's just a line.
