Two of which are "new". Under the old system, introduced when most exchanges still used solenoid switching, area codes could only have '0' or '1' as their second digit. I'm pretty sure that was only changed after you had to prefix all numbers with '1'. Nowadays we have the '011' prefix ('00' in Europe) for all international calls too, which I think is something along the same lines (the number can't be misinterpreted or misdirected).
I bet there's a bit of Huffman coding going on behind the scenes.
