Do pin serial numbers actually mean anything?

[CJCaesar]

I am just getting into pin collecting/trading and have a question. Do the serial numbers on legit disney pins have any actual meaning? In that do they have some identifying information about the pin encoded in them? Say date of production or lot number or what the pin is, et cetera.

If you're referring to FAC codes found not only on the backs of pins, but also on all sorts of Disney merchandise sold in the Parks and Stores, that would be a batch tracking code used internally by Disney.
