About this plate
Wyoming's catalogue is SMALL (23 named programmes against Washington's 49 statutory entries and Idaho's "over 40"), ENUMERATED rather than counted, and split by issuing route in a way that matters operationally: nineteen go through the county treasurer, four do not. The two facts most worth carrying forward are that Wyoming special series generally KEEP the county numerals, the opposite of Montana, where MCA 61-3-332(8) replaces them, and that embossing is a $50 premium option rather than the legacy default.
