PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic card reader configured to prevent the security from being compromised.SOLUTION: Each of magnetic card readers (10, 20, 30) includes: a housing (1) having a magnetic card holding hole (2) for holding a magnetic card (C1) inserted; magnetic card push-back means (3) arranged closer to a bottom (2b) of the magnetic card holding hole (2) than a magnetic head (4); and an anti-rollback unit (5) which is arranged closer to an opening (2a) of the magnetic card holding hole (2) than the magnetic head (4). The magnetic card push-back means (3) pushes back the magnetic card (C1) after the magnetic card (C1) is inserted in the magnetic card holding hole (2). The anti-rollback unit (5) allows the magnetic card (C1) to pass when the magnetic card (C1) is inserted in the magnetic card holding hole (2), and stops the magnetic card (C1) when the magnetic card (C1) is pushed back by the magnetic card push-back means (3).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
