MICR is used to facilitate the processing of cheques in banking systems. the data is typed in magnetic ink, mostly iron oxide which can be detected by a magnetic ink character reader and processed.
Magnetic ink was invented by a team of scientists at Stanford University in the 1950s. It is commonly used in banking for check processing and in security printing to prevent counterfeiting.
MICR stands for magnetic ink character reader
Unlike normal ink magnetic ink can be read by humans and specialized equipment. Magnetic ink is often used to print characters, for example routing numbers, on documents which are read by machines.

The MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code has 9 digits and are also used to identify the bank-branch for cheque clearing and online transaction processes. You can find MICR or IFSC codes of all branches across Indian at www.indiancodes.org Its quite faster too.
Magnetic ink is a specialized type of ink that contains magnetizable particles, typically iron oxide. It is used in printing checks, bank drafts, and other financial documents to allow for automated processing through magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) technology. The magnetic properties of the ink enable machines to read and process the information quickly and accurately.

The input and output devices of a computer are normally abbreviated as I/O devices.There are a variety of input units,which are used by computers.THE MOST COMMONLY USED UNIT OF THIS TYPE IS A KEYBOARD AND A MOUSE OF A DESKTOP COMPUTER.Special purpose units are scanners,magnetic ink character reader,optical mark reader,optical character reader and bar code reader.
No. Despite many Internet conspiracy rumors claiming otherwise, US bills do not have magnetic ink, bar codes, or RFID chips. Modern bills $5 and higher DO have special strips that glow under UV light and watermarks, and bills $10 and higher have special inks that change color when you tilt the bill.
