Abstract
A stored-value card multipack includes a plurality of stored-value cards having a mechanical security mechanism. The stored-value card multipack is configured to prevent fraud and theft of the stored-value cards by revealing evidence of tampering. In one embodiment, the stored-value card multipack includes a carrier shell coupled to a carrier base. Together, the carrier shell and the carrier base define a cavity. A first card is housed in the cavity and a second card is detachably coupled to the carrier shell by a mechanical security mechanism. The second card extends out of the cavity and thereby exposes a readable code on the second card.
