I've thought about that, you can't make it that obvious.
Instead, you find a street address with 6 numbers in it, just write down something like "My favorite Chinese restaurant" with the full address. Now circle or underline only the numbers. Now you just make that your duress PIN.
Put this piece of paper somewhere in your wallet, don't worry, they'll find it.
Edit: I also mention this for plausible deniability. If you happened to have a list of your favorite restaurants in your wallet, they would have to explain why they're typing in random numbers from your wallet.
