Postal code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A postal code (known in various countries as a post code, postcode, or ZIP code) is a series of letters and/or digits appended to a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail. |
 | | Postal services often have their own distinctive formats and placement rules for postal codes (service areas, as a rule, are defined by national borders). |
 | | Between 1990 and 1993 the old 4 digit postal codes in the former West Germany were prefixed with the letter "W", and postal codes in the former East, with "O" (for "Ost" or "East" in German). |
