## About this plate

USVI TEMPORARY PLATES, and there are demonstrably at least TWO channels, dealer-issued and BMV-issued, plus a separate moving permit for the pre-inspection stage. They are not split into separate series because nothing distinguishes them in the evidence except the issuer, and minting three format-identical placeholders would be modelling noise.
