We do that in Sweden as well. Our social security numbers are that plus 4 unique numbers. The beers I send out to stores have yyyy-mm-dd printed at the bottom.

So no more than 10 thousands of Swedes may get an SSN at the same day (or be born at the same day even ๐Ÿค”)?

Hasn't been a problem so far. I'm guessing maybe they will add numbers or use letters if it comes up. They recentled started doing that on license plates.
