The Adafruit MiFare Classic 13.56MHz RFID / NFC Leather Keychain Fobs can be read by almost any RFID/NFC reader that can handle ISO/IEC 14443 Type A cards. With 1kbytes of stored data the fobs also have a permanent 4-byte ID burned into each one so that you can uniquely identify them. They support up to 100,000 re-writes. Adafruit's learning site has tutorials describing how to get the breakout board working with the Raspberry Pi, or with an Arduino.
Please note that the NFC forum decided not to support ISO/IEC 14443 Type A in 2014 so newer phones don't support this standard. If your project isn't phone or tablet based then this shouldn't be an issue.
