Secret code
Sometimes I write down numbers (such as TANs) which I don't want other people to read, in (Sino-)Korean—or for extra obfuscation, in another language such as Niuean but with Korean or Arabic characters.
Recently I got the idea that I could use the combination of Lojban (language) and Arabic (writing)... the numbers are all only one CV syllable in Lojban, and represented in the transcription I use by one Arabic consonant letter and one diacritical mark: پً pa رِ re شٍ ci وُ vo مٌ mu خً xa زِ ze بٍ bi سُ so نُ no (1 .. 9, 0).
The letters are unique if you're just looking at the numbers, so you could just write the consonants next to one another and possibly pronounce it as a word... applying this process to my telephone number gives زخوزنشبخ. One possible pronunciation of this is [zəˈxuːz nəʃəˈbax]... which, at least to me, sounds more Hebrew than Arabic. (Perhaps I should spell it זכוז נשבך instead, or זְכוּז נְשְבַּך fully pointed.)
Nifty :D

TAN
You need a PIN to access your account and then one TAN for each transaction (money transfer, setting up a standing order, etc.) you wish to carry out.
You usually get a sheet of 50 or 100 single-use TANs and then another one whenever you run out.
I usually write down ten TANs or so to take with me to work so that I can access my account both from home and from work without having to take the piece of paper my bank sent me with me.
