UPC barcode only has the publisher (5 digits) and the price (5digits). this is for retail that does not want to maintain the PLU table for every title (eg. Walmart). Sometimes ther is a suplemental second section that may complete the ISBM, but I have not seen a retailer that uses that)
The register reads the first part and knows to decode the second part as money. (similar to the series 2 UPC, variable weight, codes used for Meat and deli)
UPC does NOT start with 97x
EAN (ISBN13) may also have a suplemental code, this is for money, but not all code it and set it to 90000
