    Yes, they can.

    Shame on me. I read the serial number on the post as YYYYDDMM instead of YYYYMMDD.

    You're forgiven, but only this time.

    You noticed it on the bill and still decided to write it in this abomination of a format in the title? In this sub?

    --0220 used to be compatible (truncated representation). They were wrong to remove that from the standard, imo, but yes 02/20 is not valid anymore 😞

    The nice thing about leading 0s is that you don't need hyphens to read it correctly.

    Yes, but including the hyphens and the leading zeros makes it a bit more human friendly and less likely to be misread or misinterpreted.
