I've still got a collection of punch cards dotted around the place, we
used them as book marks for many years.  Every now and then I'll find
one, when I pull a book out of the shelves.

Though ours weren't really "punch" cards, they're the ones you colour in
bubbles with a lead pencil, rather than punch out a hole.
