Credit cards originated in the United States during the 1920s, when oil companies and hotel chains began giving them to their repeat customers for use within their organizations. It wasn't until 1950 that the Diner's Club introduced the first international credit card. They issued cards to 200 customers who could use them at 27 New York restaurants. The customers would pay the Diners Club on a monthly basis and the restaurant owners would pay the company for the use of the service.

The American Express card was launched not long after, but the new "plastic money" did not become popular until the development of the magnetic strip in 1970. These days there are so many credit cards in circulation that it is impossible to list them all. They can be used all over the world and many people rely on them more than they do on paper money. The only catch is that in most countries, you must be 18 to get one.
