Well, plugging it in to the Chrome Javascript console gives this:

true
Is there a better regex than this that could also do the trick?

There's a little bit of redundancy in there. Also, there's no length
requirement (e.g. isPIN('') also returns true).
Without adding length requirements, I'd do it like this:
function isPIN(str) {
return /^\+?(\d*)$/.test(str);
}
With a length requirement, it might look like this (if PINs must be 4
numbers long, {a,b} for a range from a to b length):
function isPIN(str) {
return /^\+?(\d{4})$/.test(str);
}
