Smart Card and Reader Question

Is there anything inside the smart card that would keep me from cutting it down and using just the gold contact or is it like a pcb on the inside? I have an idea I am working on for the Micro Medic Contest and I need to be able to just use the contact portion and not the whole card.

    Actually, I only need the part that gets read, not the whole card which is why I asked if the card can be cut and use just the sensor piece.

    I did not understand the first reply..... Im gonna say it is a 10 dollar experiment that should work, I think the biggest issue will be making the cut card make contact with the reader/writer without some hacking of the reader/writer

    Yea, I did not think about that but you make a valid point. I think I will give it a try and see what kind of hacking is needed on the reader. I also have an RFID Reader and cards coming from EBay and I will be getting a Reader/Writer after the SC box shows up. I was not going to buy what I did on EBay but could not pass up the prices!!!!
