When using a Chip+PIN card in the US recently, I had to insert, remove, insert again, enter PIN, take card, take cash.

It took two of us two ATMs and about 15mins to figure it out ;)

Mostly off topic, but I can't seem to find the answer online:

Does anyone happen to know what the difference is between 6 contact and 8 contact chips? I have an older travel card that has 6 pads, and a recently issued card that has 8 contact pads. Are they inter-operable? I've only used the chip and sign twice so far, both with the newer card.
