I'm in Estonia, and my bank issues debit and credit cards that are definitely embossed.
unrelated, but that's almost surprising. austrian banks stopped issuing embossed cards years ago. is anyone in estonia still using that feature?
Not that I know of. We're a pretty tech-forward country, so it's hard to imagine anyone making physical carbon copies these days.

With the itty bitty oled displays now available [1], Doom should now have a chance!

exactly, that's what i thought. must be one of those: it was always done that way, or maybe just, the banks bought machines to print the cards from the US or where they still do that (do they actually?) or simply those machines were cheaper, or who cares, its not like there is a downside to embossing the numbers. it could also be estonians who fled to the US in the previous century returning and bringing back their idea of how it should be done.
i was visiting the baltics in the early 90s and i head that people were desperate to get anything from the west after being cut of for so long.
