Comment on Contactless cards fail to recognise foreign currencyparent

Bingo! They didn't test the back end system, but what happens is the conversion is done to local currency and seeing that it's greater than the limit, it's denied. A non-story.

Exactly. They seem to overlook that there are rules for the merchant as well; high-value transactions without a CVM are almost certain to raise flags (or be denied right away) at the merchant acquirer.
