Ghana's Postal Code Format

Ghana uses a "Postcode" system, which is an alphanumeric format like AA-99999-9999. This format consists of a two-letter prefix, followed by a hyphen, then five digits, another hyphen, and finally four more digits, making it a 13-character alphanumeric code. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Ghana has 259 postal codes covering 275 regions and 11,174 towns. This format is different from numeric US ZIP codes, as Ghana's postal codes are alphanumeric and have a specific hyphenated structure, whereas US ZIP codes are purely numeric and typically five digits long.
