The only one entry in La Poste Datanova is 99138;MONACO;98000;;MONACO;43.7384176,7.4246158
Monaco postal codes are integrated into the French postal system. They begin with "980", and have five digits, in the form "980XX", like French postal codes. The most common postcode in Monaco, excluding CEDEX and special addresses, is therefore postcode 98000.
