## About this plate

OREGON STANDARD ISSUE, NUMERAL-LEADING. The reported changeover to the numeral-leading arrangement in February 2004 is encyclopedia-grade and is NOT minted into the id. THE POINT TO CARRY: in Oregon the BASE DESIGN and the SERIAL ARRANGEMENT have different lifetimes, the design is frozen by ORS 803.535 since the 1987 contest, while the arrangement flipped from letters-first to numerals-first when the letter blocks ran out.
