Not sure if this applies to Americans, but when I lived in Canada, I
had a 5 or 6 digit pin
code, but internationally, pin codes are only 4 digits. If you have a
longer pin code,
change it to a 4 digit one before travelling.

2 years ago I was back in Canada, visiting, and in a small restaurant,
I noticed the familiar
chip and pin reader. When I remarked on it, they said it was a new
system that was coming
in but even the bank didn't know how it worked yet. I said, let me
show you and paid for
the meal with my UK chip and pin card.
