- About this plate
- GEORGIA'S PEACH ORCHARD PLATE, the graphic sibling of the plain peach base, concurrent with it since the same 2012 change, and the reason Georgia is harder to parse than North Carolina despite looking similar. North Carolina's three concurrent designs run in DISJOINT letter blocks, so the serial identifies the design. Georgia's two peach bases ALTERNATE through shared blocks, so the serial identifies nothing about which design a plate carries. Two states, the same structural situation, and opposite consequences for a parse API, which is exactly the sort of thing that only becomes visible once serial-block allocation is recorded as data rather than as prose.
- How numbers are issued
- reported: exclusively PAA1000 to PEZ9999 and PMA1000 to QBT1499, and alternating with the plain peach plate across CAA1000 to approximately DEC9999, RAA0001 to approximately SMR9999, and TAA0001 to TGW0701. Note ALTERNATING allocation, the two concurrent designs share blocks rather than partitioning them, which is the opposite of North Carolina's practice.
