>> A better example is the engine serial number used by a manufacturer
I
know of. The first two digits represent the number of cylinders and
the two following digits represent the series. The final six digits
are a sequential sequence from 1 to 99999. If enough units are
produced to consume the sequence then it is reset to 1 and another
series code is issued to allow extension of the line.

I guess another example could be US Zip code - one can determine the
state by looking at its first 2 digits, correct?
