Chip and pin has been a standard and pretty thin in the rest of the world before it came to the us. You were pretty late to the game, so its not like this is an early artifact with major leaps since

I have a European chip and pin card. The area around the contacts above the chip has a slight, but noticeable, bulge. I have a newer American chip and pin card. It's thicker but the card is perfectly flat. They also did away with the bump letters and numbers.
