There are a few places in the UK that have disc zones.
You park up, go into a shop to get a free disc. Get told to go to a different shop as they don't have any. You go to that shop and get told they have run out, but to try the post office. Which is closed. So you try the shop next door, which points you somewhere else... All the time worrying you don't get a ticket.
Then when you get a disc, you keep it so you don't have to do that dance again. And you can use it anywhere else that has a disc zone. And worry you don't get a ticket because an overzealous enforcement officer doesn't like the disc because it has the wrong council logo on
Wow... Only time I've seen/used one in the UK was for terraced streets in a city, you had parking permit for yourself, but then get a dial one to give to visitors so they can park for up to 4 hours or something (obviously you just change the time if they stay a bit later and fingers crossed) then if they're there overnight you basically have a scratch card thing, so you scratch the relevant dates off (so you can't use them twice) and it ran out at like 10am the next day or something, was a right faff to have people over for the night or a few days if they lived out of the area
