-The east coast, Cape Cod area - if I remember correctly, I was having dinner in Falmouth or perhaps in Woods Hole when the imprinting device appeared. Could have been backup for their normal credit card machine, though - didn't think to ask at the time.

Not the OP, but I used a taxi in NYC last year that still used the imprint machine.
