If you keep a mouse on some flag for a little time, it shows some kind of number. For example US has 840, UK 826, Estonia 233. etc.
What do these numbers mean?
Until someone sets me straight, that is as good a theory as any?
Let me test it by checking out Andorra...stand by.....

Hover your mouse and you see that Aruba has more than ten times more than Argentine... something fishy here.
I just think that it is a flag number, a database key, used to access the flag database.

Btw, if you were using Firefox and moused over a flag it would tell you the country and not the number. 😛

these are ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 3-digit country codes corresponding to 3-alpha codes... like GBR = 826, EST = 233, USA = 840 etc.... widely used by different industries/businesses
I have learnt something today.
