About this plate
THE IN GOD WE TRUST STANDARD OPTION, 2024 design. Its own series on two of the three §2.3 tests at once, FORMAT differs (reversed arrangement) and DESIGN differs (the added legend), which is as unambiguous as that test ever gets. THE CROSS-STATE POINT, and the reason this entry is the hinge of the group: Kentucky offers the same statutory In God We Trust option on the same base as its plain plate, and draws the serials for both from ONE allocation. So in Tennessee the serial identifies the option and in Kentucky it cannot, although the policies are twins.
About the format
THREE NUMERALS THEN FOUR LETTERS, the mirror image of the plain option's three letters then four numerals. This is the whole reason the two options are separate series: the serial ALONE identifies which Tennessee standard option a plate is, with no image, no lookup and no ambiguity.
