There are 2 types of Magnetic Cards

HiCo Cards :

High Coercivity Cards at 4000oe (oersteds) is the strength at which the information is held in the magnetic stripe. High-coercivity magstripes are harder to erase, and therefore are appropriate for cards that are frequently used or that need to have a long life.

LoCo Cards :

Low Coercivity Cards at 300oe (oersteds) is the strength at which the information is held in the magnetic stripe. Low-coercivity magstripes require a lower amount of magnetic energy to write onto the stripe and the information may be easily erasable. Hence this is used for applications where the information need not be required for a prolonged period. A good example for LoCo use is Hotel Key Cards.
