## About this plate

YAA was set aside for recalls of numericals." Different month, different opening combination. The all-numeric ACT series that ran to 1968 (reported "from 1 to 99-935 ... in white on navy blue") is NOT authored: the agency says only that a numeric series existed, and everything else about it is uncited.

## How numbers are issued

ascending from YAA-000; secondary sources report it reached YZZ-999 in early 1996 and then back-filled unused blocks (YKL onward) before ending at YLZ-999
