## About this plate

Its value is the material argument as much as the format one: because 341.12(4)(am) commences with registrations initially effective 1 July 2022, a plate from this series still in service is built to a DIFFERENT statutory material standard than a plate issued today.

## How numbers are issued

observed 101-AAA to 999-ZZZ, i.e. the series ran to exhaustion of the three-letter suffix (secondary), which is the ordinary reason a US format flips
