Instructions for Reading Serial Numbers

Read Serial Numbers for Date Information

Here's how to decode the date information hidden in some serial numbers:

1. Focus on the Last Six Digits: Ignore the first part of the serial number and concentrate on the last six digits. These will hold the key to the date.
2. Month: The first and second digits represent the month of manufacture. In our example, "04" represents April.
3. Day: The third and fourth digits together represent the day of the month. For instance, "12" translates to the 12th day.
4. Year: The last two digits indicate the year. Here, "24" signifies 2024.

Examples:

• Serial Number: 252A0373041224N (Focus on the bolded section)
  • Decoded Date: April 12th, 2024 (Month: 04, Day: 12, Year: 24)
• Serial Number: 252A6400012324N (Focus on the bolded section)
  • Decoded Date: January 23rd, 2024 (Month: 01, Day: 23, Year: 24)
