La Puce, French for 'the chip', was Bell Canada's line of 1990s prepaid cards used in public payphones. Instead of coins, value was deducted from the card’s embedded microchip.
This card belongs to the QuickChange series, with a $5 value and part of the CardEx 96 set--an attractive promo edition for collectors.
On the back, you’ll find Maastricht, Netherlands and the dates October 9–13, 1996, commemorating the Maastricht World Philatelic Exhibition. Only about 2,000 copies were issued.
Card size is roughly credit-card dimensions; typically unused and in excellent condition unless noted. It is expired and inactive, so not usable for calling.
Perfect for telecom nostalgia collectors, Canadian philatelic memorabilia fans, and vintage payphone card enthusiasts.
