You could have expected that from a CASH license plate.
In the Netherlands we deliberately have horrible license plates. They are yellow, with black lettering and a blue EU left side. There is nothing nice about it, except that you recognize them immediately. Wherever you drive, you will recognize the Dutch immediately. Or Luxembourgers, because those plates look a bit like it.
Anyway, in some countries you have so-called ‘private license plates’, the so-called ‘vanity plates’. Then you pay extra money for a plate with a unique text on it. In Belgium they have recently started doing it and it often produces hilarious results. It’s good for the government coffers and it’s good for the owner.
CASH license plate
In the United Kingdom and in the United States there is a complete market for these plates. In addition, some plates are still far-fetched. A few letters are slightly different, or it is a reference for the crowd (L34DF00T). Those plates are usually quite affordable. In England people have been trading in these plates for a long time, in the US the market is still quite young. Trading records has not been allowed for very long, but now it is.
It is the simple plates that make a clear statement that are pricey. Perhaps the best is the license plate with CASH on it. Just four letters that make it clear that you have a lot of money.
Initials!
For the owner it was a special record, because in addition to the fact that he is a lawyer, the record also consists of his initials. Yes, really, the best man it Claude arthur Stuart Hamrick. damn. He has owned the license plate for 50 years since the early 1970s, when California was given the option to request private plates.
Mr. Hamrick (since it is possible to trade in records) received several offers to sell the record. In doing so, he always held his own: for less than a million dollars. It won’t surprise you, for two million you can get the CASH license plate do buy…. You can do that through Plate broker which trades the more expensive California license plates.
Incidentally, the CASH license plate is not even the most expensive plate ever. The record ‘MM’ was once paid 24.3 million dollars. Nice for your Mitsubishi Mirage, MG Midget or Mazda Miata.
