Memorising numbers

Should I be worried or pleased that I know everything that’s on my Visa card?
I know the name displayed, I know all the numbers from the actual Visa card number, the expiry date and even the three digit code on the back.
How is it that I can memorise numbers like this, and phone numbers, but in an interview at a pub when I lived in London in the early 90s I couldn’t add up 3×3 lots of numbers in my head?

Is it just numbers, or a lot of stuff? For example, how many Crowded House songs can you recall the lyrics for when they play on the radio?
If it were just numbers that would be strange.. I memorise a lot of odd stuff though..
I don’t think it’s too unusual if you use your visa card a lot, though.
