do you need a real atm card

No. It comes with cards that you can use or you can use any hard card to access the money box.

It depends on how it was originally purchased. However it is normally an add-on card and relatively inexpensive. I would doubt that this one comes with one.

I have just used regular checks with the red ink. not a bad machine for the price.

Yes. It exactly resembles real money except for a printed statement that it is not real money.

You can use your own credit card to get the bank to open. The kid credit card that normally comes with device isn't necessary if you don't have it.

I've run some through with no problem but the machine counts units not denominations. I had the UV counterfeit checking feature on and they passed but they also passed at the bank so I don't know how good that feature would work on an actual counterfeit bill and I hope I never get the chance to find out.

No, it's stand alone. you can transfer the data to a computer using a mini compact flash card but it isn't necessary to work the cash register.

No. Money and banker is required. But there's an app you can get where you don't need to play with paper money.

No. It has plastic coins that come with it. You can also use real money if you want to.

Yes, and no it won't deactivate it. I've used my atm cards in plenty of times. And they have never been deactivated

None. You have to purchase your own but a card is not typically expensive and you can select the size of card you want.

Yes, it's like a real cash register. The microphone also woks and so does the scanner. My granddaughter loves playing with this toy.

You do need the card. I bought mine without the card and as soon as you turn it on it asks for the card.

No, it is extremely cheaply made. Mine is already falling apart and I only had four cards in it. Also, there isn't a lot of room in the cash section.

Tested it and yes it works with real money. The slot is small so no larger than nickel fit in

You can also call straight talk directly or go to their web site. There is no need for a physical card as long as you have a credit card to pay for the service.

In my opinion, no; not unless you are comfortable with a very thick wallet. My husband does have something similar that we got years ago (from a drug store, if I remember correctly) that truly is the size and thickness of a credit card. I have found these difficult to find again. It has a very small reading "window" compared to the Mighty Bright, which we find more useful overall.
