Germany: Geldkarte (German: "money card") is a stored-value card or electronic cash system used in Germany. It operates as an offline smart card for small payment at things like vending machines and to pay for public transport or parking tickets. The card is pre-paid and funds are loaded onto the card using ATMs or dedicated charging machines. The system will be abandoned from 2024.

- zwirbl 3y agoThe similar Austrian system was called 'Quick' and has been defunct for a few years now. I only ever used it for vending machines, mostly cigarettes https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_(Geldkarte) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_(Geldkarte)
