【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a prepaid card having a card type determination structure of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of another embodiment of the prepaid card having the card type determination structure of FIG. The prepaid card 1 of the present invention is constructed by arranging a magnetic film-shaped mark M1 and a magnetic film-shaped mark M2 at a distance d1 corresponding to the card type, in the vicinity of the other side 1A. It Therefore, the distance from the upper end of the prepaid card 1 to the magnetic film mark M1 is d2, the distance from the magnetic film mark M1 to another magnetic film mark M2 is d1, and the magnetic film mark M2 is from the prepaid card. The distance to the lower end of 1 is d3. By manufacturing by changing the distance d1, it is possible to support many kinds of cards. The magnetic film-shaped mark is provided by sticking a magnetic film piece cut to the mark size on the surface of the prepaid card or by printing with a magnetic ink.

With the above configuration, the prepaid card reader / writer can detect and determine the card type very easily.
