Would you kick in a couple of bucks to cover the $75 fee?
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I think your average street thug won't know what AU58 means so it might be ok. But, if you are a dealer leaving a coin show with that vehicle, I might think twice. Well, then again, it is not like it says MS70 so maybe you would still be safe! image

    I personally would never make mention of anything coins on my car, period.

    How about something simpler and more elegant like "you suck!". Everyone will know what THAT means. LOL

    Sure, but since I'm single, I'd rather have "EF-40" - Extremely Fine! AU says you haven't been around enough!

    ...maybe you should try KING 58... or 58 KING... less to do with coins, same meaning.

    Do it. If I didn't already have very cool plates, I'd go with 64DCAM. image

    If it's a Volkswagen, anything higher than P1 would be misleading.

  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    Actually (I looked it up), it's $47 for the new plate (mixed letters and numbers), for letters only it's $94! Then $7 extra per year.

    The majority of people will probably interpet that as 'the chemical symbol for gold 58', which is their problem I suppose - but the idea reminds me of when I lived in California and received a random plate which began with 2DAY and then a few more digits.

    Most people assumed I was memoralizing some important calender date (including the guy who approached my car at a stop light one day and simply refused to accept the truth that the plate had no meaning and refused to leave until I made up something). It was waaaay more trouble than it was worth and I didn't ask for it.

    I'd say go with a random number - but do so by buying a vanity plate which is sufficiently random so as not to confuse even the thickest pedestrian.

    mine says

    JODIRT


    so you might as well do yours.

    No one will know what AU58 means so don't worry about the plates being coin related.

    If anyone asks, you can always tell them AU-58 stands for, Always Uncivilized, followed by your age.

    I seen a Corvette here in Illinois with the plates "AUDIGGER" which is gold digger I'm assuming.

    I would go with AU58.
