<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1468526, member: 66&quot;]In some cases it still is.&nbsp; I recently tried to buy a coin from the Austrian Mint.&nbsp; Website rejects the transaction.&nbsp; Website all in english, explanation for rejection all in German.&nbsp; Contact the Mint&#039;s customer assistance and after some emails back and forth it turns out it was rejected be cause it isn&#039;t &quot;3D Secure&quot; and needs to be registered with Mastercard for&nbsp; SecureCode.&nbsp; It&#039;s a free service just talk to your bank.&nbsp; So far it&#039;s been a week dealing with the Austrian Mint.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Contact my bank.&nbsp; We go round and round, emails back and forth, live chat with their customer service, all boils down to &quot;We have no idea what you are talking about.&nbsp; We&#039;ve never heard of 3DSecure or SecureCode.&quot;&nbsp; Well that was week two. Talk to the Austrian Mint again, there is nothing they can do and all they can suggest is I try their authorized distributor.&nbsp; They are happy to take my card as is, but the cost is 37% higher.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do some searching online and finally find the MasterCard website for registering for SecureCode.&nbsp; Go to the site, says registering is quick and easy, enter my information to register, and MasterCard rejects my MasterCard because it is not a Visa card.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I give up and go do some more searching for the coin and find a dealer in Germany that is happy to take Paypal and even after paying shipping (Shipping from the mint was free) and a transaction fee for using Paypal, my final bill was three dollars LESS than buying it direct from the Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Card reader at the table.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
