No, those are just "numbers" or "numeric strings" (if you're being overt about them being strings at all). They're "numeric strings" because they're composed of "numerals". If you think otherwise your vocabulary needs adjusting. A numeral is a single digit. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@zip.com.au> English is a living language, but simple illiteracy is no basis for linguistic evolution. - Dwight MacDonald
