I just invented something similar.

Though it only supports a maximum of 4 cards, at scale it would cost ~500x less.

I call it "penny." Here's my prototype: http://imgur.com/49auKC4

I've seen card readers try to read from both sides of the card in case it's swiped on the wrong side - you might have some problems with those.

For compatibility, penny will offer a special adapter that will decrease interference with some card scanners.

You can purchase this compatibility adapter for $3.95 for 66 feet: http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Electrical-75-Inch-66-Foot-0085...
