What do you use in scratching the scratch cards? Do you use your nails like me or do you have a coin somewhere to do the job? Here in our country we buy airtime in form of scratch cards and my nails chip off because of this! what about you? What do you use? a keyholder maybe? Please share.

i use anything kwenge. anything that can scratch those silver thingy off the card. ^__^;; but most of the time i use a coin. there was a time i used my nails. its hard. i spent a lot of time there. 
its better to use coins because of its rough edges. do you wonder who in the world started that habit to use a coin in scratching cards?

I hardly ever buy scratch off cards but when I do, I usually use a penny or another coin to scratch them off. I hate to get the black stuff stuck up under my fingernails.It is hard for me to get it out from under them. I have used my fingernails from time to time though if I had nothing else to scrath them off with. I have also used a fingernail file too.

well we dont have the scratch cards here in the UK for airtime anymore they generally come in voucher form now.
I do occasionally buy the national lottery scratch cards and i have to scratch them with a coin
i have tried with my nails before and i can never get the silver stuff from underneath there so now it is always a coin, altho with my luck im not sure why i bother scratching them at all i may as well just put them straight in the bin lol!
