Abstract
An IC card has a card body with a plurality of slits extending through the thickness card body and a pair of metallic panels secured to the card body. The metallic panels have engaging portions which extend into the slits when the metallic panels are secured to the card body so that the engaging portions of both panels engage each other within respective slits to fasten both metallic panels to the card body. The electrical potentials of both metallic panels are equalized through these engaging portions.
