2. Description of the Related Art With the widespread use of prepaid magnetic cards, there is an increasing demand for printing characters, numbers, etc. corresponding to the magnetic recording contents to make the magnetic recording contents visible. For example, when a prepaid card is used multiple times, it is convenient if the user can visually check the usage contents and amount of money each time, and the balance of the card. In order to meet such a demand, a magnetic card provided with a heat-sensitive recording layer capable of recording using a heat-sensitive recording means has been developed (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62287/1990). This conventional magnetic card has a structure in which a contrast-imparting layer, a heat-sensitive layer, a thin metal layer, and a protective layer are sequentially provided on one surface of a plastic substrate. This is performed by bringing the thermal head of the recording device into contact. The heat provided by the thermal head is transferred to the thin metal layer through the protective layer and the second heat sensitive layer to melt the thin metal layer, thereby forming a hole in this portion. Since the contrast-imparting layer is located below the thin metal layer, the contrast-imparting layer will be seen through in the hole portion, and the contrast between the hole-free portion and the character corresponding to the hole, You can see the numbers.

The conventional magnetic recording medium as described above is convenient because it can record information such as the usage status in a visually recognizable form, but temporary information or rewriting is not possible. When recording necessary information, it is necessary to take measures such as filling in the recorded information and recording new information in another area. However, since the area that can be used for recording is limited, the number of times of rewriting cannot be increased too much.

As described above, the magnetic recording medium of the present invention has an irreversible heat-sensitive recording layer for irreversibly recording information by the heat-sensitive recording means, and reversibly, that is, rewriting information by the heat-sensitive recording means. Since the reversible thermosensitive recording layer for recording is possible, two kinds of information, rewritable information and non-rewritable information, can be recorded in the same or different areas, and magnetic recording is possible. It can be used for various purposes as a medium.
