EAN-99 is a special form of the
EAN-13, which just starts with "99". EAN 99 is used as an in-store coupon.
These are coupons which are good only at that particular store and are actually
distributed in the store in which they will be honored. Instead of a UPC code
with a number system character of 5, an EAN code is used with a "country code"
of 99.
