If the numbers presented pan out to be true for future cost savings, the District CDDs should save money on some maintenance costs by making this change.

Will the cloned cards work after these changes are made? I still am not sure from the replays received from District staff and am still waiting on the answer to this question. “Are you going to let the Villagers that have cloned cards and the people that are selling them know about your stopping their cards from working? And, is there a gate that I can test my cloned card on to make sure it doesn't work?”

Why make Villagers go outside the system to have a better system (in my opinion) for activating the gates? If the cloned coin cards still work using the new system, why doesn’t the District provide the option of receiving coin cards from them that can be placed in car mirrors to activate the gates without human intervention? I will ask them that question!
I thank you for your time and effort to make life just a bit easier for us Villagers. I appreciate your gumption.
