It's the only card in the deck with an icon in the corner in that style. The faces and 10's are different. When a dealer looks down with 10 showing, they either see the A or the see nothing but white. That's why the dealer has to turn them sideways when the A is up. There are little K,Q.J, 10 icons on the cards that are only readable in the prism if the card is on the side.
Of course, lots of places have moved to the electronic readers and these things malfunction more than they should. When I last used them in 04, they miss-read 4's as Aces and Aces as 4's quite often.
