- Cartadis photocopier card:
This card has a standard size and only one track. The track is located in the position of the standard track 2 and follows approximately the ABA standard. The track has two independent records, separated by 26 zeros (bits). Both records have the same information and use a special start sentinel character: the end sentinel with wrong parity bit. They end with a character which looks like some kind of LRC for part of the bytes. The special thing about this card is that it is not recorded using Aiken biphase. Zeros are coded in the same way but ones are coded with one short flux reversal instead of two of them.

- La Vaguada mall parking ticket:
This card has a standard size and two magnetic stripes on the same side, at both edges, so that one stripe is at standard position (top) and the other is at opposite position (bottom). This feature is likely to allow the card to be read in whatever sense you insert it in the reader (both stripes have the same information). Each stripe has two tracks, approximately at the position of standard tracks 1 and 2, but both are low density. Each track has two independent records, separated by 21 zeros (bits). Data are not coded using ANSI/ISO BCD or ALPHA data formats, they seem to be grouped in bytes of 8 bits plus one odd parity bit. Each record is finished with a standard LRC character plus what we might call a special end sentinel, 0x0e. Records begin with a kind of start sentinel, 0xa7 or 0xa9, depending on the stripe. This is very likely to allow to distinguish between both stripes.

- AREA toll ticket:
This card has a standard size and only one track. The track is located in the position of the standard track 3 but does not follow the THRIFT standard. Data are recorded using low density and are not coded using ANSI/ISO BCD or ALPHA data formats. The track has three independent records separated by a pause without bits (not even clocking bits, just a pause), all records have the same information. There are no clocking bits preceding or closing the track, instead there is a big flux reversal at the beginning and at the end, separated by a pause from the data. This might be some kind of security system to avoid reading, copying or counterfeiting cards because the software of standard readers will not handle this format.

- El Corte Ingles parking ticket:
This card has a standard size and only one track. The track is located in the center of the ticket and does not follow any standard. Data are not coded using ANSI/ISO BCD or ALPHA data formats. The track has two independent records separated by a pause without bits (not even clocking bits, just a pause), both records have the same information. There are no clocking bits preceding or closing the track, instead there is a big flux reversal at the beginning and at the end, separated by a pause from the data. This might be some kind of security system to avoid reading, copying or counterfeiting cards because the software of standard readers will not handle this format.

- Plaza de Aluche mall parking ticket:
This card has a standard size and only one track. The track is located in the position of the standard track 2 but does not follow the ABA standard. Data are not coded using ANSI/ISO BCD or ALPHA data formats. It does not even record data using Aiken biphase, instead it seems that zeros are coded with one long flux reversal followed by a short flux reversal, while ones are coded just the opposite way, one short reversal followed by a long reversal. The track has three independent records separated by three big flux reversals each one, all records have the same information, but the first one seems to be incomplete, the first part is missing. It seems as if recording starts with data instead of clocking bits (in fact no clocking bits are used anywhere) but due to the size of the card at least two records are guarantied to be complete. The beginning of a good record is detected by the three big peaks. The track is closed with six big flux reversals. This might be some kind of security system to avoid reading, copying or counterfeiting cards because the software of standard readers will not handle this format.

- COPYTEXT photocopier card (exhausted):
This card has a standard size and only one track. The track is located in the position of the standard track 2 but does not follow the ABA standard. Data are not coded using ANSI/ISO BCD or ALPHA data formats, they seem to be grouped in bytes of 8 bits without parity. It does not even record data using Aiken biphase, instead it seems that zeros are coded with one long flux reversal followed by a short flux reversal, while ones are coded just the opposite way, one short reversal followed by a long reversal. The track has three independent records separated by one big flux reversal each one. There are no clocking bits preceding or closing the track, instead there are several big flux reversals at the beginning (three to five) and at the end (two), separated by a pause from the data. This might be some kind of security system to avoid reading, copying or counterfeiting cards because the software of standard readers will not handle this format.

- TELECOM ITALIA phonecard (exhausted):
This is the strangest card I've seen. It has a standard size and only one track which only occupies about half of the card length. The track is located in the position of the standard track 3 but does not follow the ABA standard. Data are not coded using ANSI/ISO BCD or ALPHA data formats. It does not even record data using Aiken biphase, instead it seems that two bits per symbol are used. I mean, there are four possible flux reversal durations, therefore each reversal codes two bits itself. The track seems to have several independent records separated by a pause. There are no clocking bits preceding or closing the track, instead there is one big flux reversal at the beginning and at the end, separated by a pause from the data. This might be some kind of security system to avoid reading, copying or counterfeiting cards because the software of standard readers will not handle this format.
