Exempt plates are used in the 2 letter/4 number format, so there is a possibility that the E series could still appear on special plates in the 2 letter/3number format. The E series was skipped, probably because it is used on exempt plates. The C and U series were used on University plates. Jeremy DeMai reports that the Z series is starting to appear on some Veteran plates, so it is possible that the B series has been exhausted and the Z series is now being used for specialty plates of that type. The B series is used on specialty plates such as Veteran, Firefighters, and other service-oriented plates. Other specialty plates appear in the 2 letter/3 number format. Older Critical Habitat deer plates appear in the A, D, G, and N series (AA 123 format) in the old embossed format with the deer on the left side. The low he has seen on the previous flat version was NZ911, and a high flat of 350JA. Guy Peterson reports an old style flat Deer plate - 1AC 627. This is the latest version with a new numbering format.Īn interim issue of Critical Habitat deer was flat and changed to a 123JA format. Andrew Osborne reports the LAx used year stickers. The lowest screened year plate sighted was in the LBx series. Although MN has been screening the month on new plates for a while, this is the first sighting of a screened year. The latest high has the year "14" screened in the lower right. It appears they are taking up the practice West Virginia has been using of screening the "sticker" for the first year of use. Nick Jankovich reports something new for MN. 2014, so they could be back filling after running out of L series. Jay Maynard reports the MMG series being issued over the counter in Martin Co. Speculation is that the M series is being used for mailouts, similar to what was done in 2009 with the A and B series. The M series is beginning to appear, but over the counter issues have just started in the L series. plates is BDL-830 reported by Nick Jankovich on. Therefore, the lowest alpha-numeric plates still in use are in the Mxx series. Minnesota is on a 7 year replacement cycle, so plates must be replaced upon reaching 7 years of age. F and S have not been seen in the third position, only the second, with the exception of LFF and LFS. It appears that all of the LFx and LSx series was issued. Jay has also seen series with LFD, LFF, LFS, LFU, and LFX, so it is possible that all of the LF series was issued. Jay Maynard reports 170 LFJ, so others have been issued. To summarize, the only Fs and Ss that he has seen on flat plates are as follows: KF- KS- K-F K-S LFA Now we have a report that the LFA series was issued. Recently, those letters have appeared in the second and third position on K-series plates, but he has not noticed them on any other series, including the L- and M-series that followed K. Jeff Nelson previously reported that Minnesota seems to have discontinued use of S and F with the switch to flat plates in 2008. Management wants to keep them for testing, whatever that means. Apparently, the Z series was made, but the DMV isn't going to issue them. Truck plates have a Y/A A0000 format, and the top letter of the stack is always Y. The Y series was skipped because the state thought they would look too much like truck plates. It is unclear if the S was used in the second or third positions prior to this.
After XZZ 999 was reached, the state apparently fixed the problem with their telephone system, and jumped back to the S series. Whiskey plates use a WA0000 format, and they always start with W. The reason for this is because they were concerned that the W series would look too much like the DUI plates (locally called "W"hiskey plates). After VZZ 999 the W series was skipped and went to XAA 001. The state initially skipped the entire S series and went from RZZ 999 to TAA 001. According to the state, this was because their telephone voice activation system was having difficulty understanding when the letter S was spoken over the phone.
From then on, the letter S was not used in any position. In the previous alpha-numeric format, upon reaching PGR 999, the PGS series was skipped, so the next series started at PGT 001.
Low reverse series - 0-03-10 Nick JankovichĪfter the A series was exhausted, the C series began for over the counter sales, then the D and E series were used. Our thanks to Jeremy DeMai for this information! The A series began to appear for over the counter sales as each office ran out of embossed plates. The B series appeared before the A series because B series plates were sent to registrants who initiated orders through the mail and over the Internet. Standard plates are now flat and have reverted to a 000-AAA pattern. O and Q were used at one time, but not recently.
