E-money experiments starts

Commercial banks and credit card companies in Japan will begin an experiment Thursday July 16 to introduce electric money, or ''e-money'' in one of Tokyo's busiest shopping areas in Shibuya. A 46-company consortium led by Visa International and Sumitomo Bank plans to issue 130,000 cards for use at some 700 shops.
