Those Stacked Leffers Really Соtшt

Sometime in 1998, Arizona quietly changed
its mоtоrсусlе design ечеr so slighdy Ьу
moving the stacked letters "М/С" from thе

гight to the left side оf their new fчil graphic
piates. This isnt muсh оf а change, апd I
didnt ечеп notice this until ýИаllу Рuпzmапп
pointed it out last fаll. In mу view it qualified as а die variery. And thаtЪ whеrе the
stогr, ended fоr mе until I started examining
_\Tizona cycles with thе new smаrt stickers.

very similar пumЬеrs, but only differ (assuming the fчll size сhаrасtеrs wete exact matches)
Ьу the placement оf thе "М/С". ТЬе
рrоЬlеm
with using "М/С" as palt оГ the registгation
пчmьеr is that because these letters are а
соmmоп abЫeviation fоr а vehicle rуре, few
people would understand that thеу аrе part

оf the registration пчmЬеr. Still, in

1998,

Arizona switched the position оf thе "М/С"

to ореп чр mofe combinations, thеrеЬу сrеating арраrепt duplication fот most viewers.

ATizona hаs been in this game fоr а long time.

Гаг back as 1 968, the state began using аltеrnates to thе "]i4/C" letters, beginning with "Ml'

В" and later using "С/М", as well as frопt and
end placements of the stacks, in оrdеr to сгеate mоrе combinations and eliminate duplication during re-plates. I always thought "N4/B''
meant motorbike, but it turns out thеsе wеrе
mоtоrсусlе plates. So given their historp you
сап see why they made that mоче in 1998.
In 1980, Arizona re-plated motorcycles, kпопing that these plates would no 1опgеr Ье annuals. Previousl1,, thеу could get away with usins
