Traditional coupon symbols (old coupon symbols) are composed of two bar codes: UPC/EAN and Code128. A
new coupon symbol is composed of a single DataBar Expanded bar code. The new coupon format offers more
options for purchase values (up to $999.99) and supports complex discount offers such as a second purchase
