Museum voor Communicatie 2014 – Stop! Staat de postcode er wel op?

The postcode was introduced in the Netherlands in 1977. It consists of four figures and two letters separated by one space: 1111 AA. The postcode is placed before the name of the town or city (in capitals), separated with two spaces: 1111 AA TOWN

The first two figures indicate a town or region, the last two figures indicate a neighbourhood. The letters indicate a street or part of a street. The combination postcode and house number is unique.

The postcode made automatic sorting easier.

The museum for communication is the former PTT museum.
