About this plate
THE CURRENT BUCHAREST PLATE, AND THE FILE'S HEADLINE STRUCTURAL FACT. One letter, THREE digits, three letters, a different serial space from every county plate in the country, current at the same time, on the same design.
About its years
THE WEAKEST DATE IN THIS FILE, AND IT IS FLAGGED AS SUCH. The only source reached says the three-digit order number was adopted "starting around 2010" because the two-digit space ran out. It is a CAPACITY event, so there may be no instrument to find at all, which is itself the finding (header fact 2: no amendment was needed).
How the region is encoded
THERE IS NO MAXIMAL-MUNCH AMBIGUITY with the seven B-initial county codes: the character after the territorial code is always a DIGIT for the capital and always a LETTER for a county, so "B123ABC" and "BC12ABC" separate mechanically even after separator stripping.
