[Year 12 IT Apps] Data type for postcode

[ken price]

I am reliably told that 1964, the U.S. Postal Service granted Smokey
Bear (the mascot for wildfire prevention) his own ZIP code: 20252. The
US president also has a personal zip code.

Perhaps there are also fake postcodes used in movies, in the way that
US movie phone numbers usually begin with the fake prefix 555?
