Tarot cards were originally made to be trump cards for card games, and were used with normal playing cards. It wasn't until many years later they became used for "fortune telling" and then were slowly separated from playing cards.

Most decks of Bicycle playing cards actually have 56 cards.

And the new USPCC factory is only minutes from the old one even though they are in different states
