You can't even get "Bitcoin" in my state - they won't allow it.

Here in Raleigh, North Carolina, I saw someone in a car in front of me with "BITCOIN" on their license plate.

Almost broke into a ridiculous frenzy of honking and waving...  what are the odds, that someone with a "BITCOIN" plate would be at a stoplight right in front of a bitcoin core developer?

My  plates have the first bits for one of my addresses. Ok, that was a lie. They're actually just a random DMV-selected alphanumeric string, but there's no harm in pretending, is there?

Now that's something doable with 6 letters..!

heh, with the proper application of CPU/GPU power, it is actually possible to turn that lie into truth.  See vanitygen.

P.S.  While not bitcoin-related, for the Unix geeks in the audience, here are my plates:

"SATOSHI" would be another good option. And you could swap out the 'O' for a zero and/or one or both of the 'I's for ones on "BITCOIN" (which in this case actually makes for a pretty cool substitution). If my state's DMV accepts bitcoins for the vanity plate fee, I think I'll go for one of those.  ;)

I tried to get Bitcoin in VA but someone had already snagged it almost two years ago.   Virginia, center of the Bitcoin universe? 
Stupid VA and 7 digit plates means no Bitcoins.

My wife said no to my plan of renting a garage in North Carolina so I could get Bitcoin plate from NC.  I mean that is normal right?

Should someone make up a Bitcoin license plate site for all states and countries? Basically draw a world map with border lines, and have each border area be a link to popup the Bitcoin plate for that jurisdiction.

I'm sorry... The Idaho plates really say "Famous Potatoes" on them?!?

This is probably the most comprehensive list of BTC plates (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=114040.msg2390993#msg2390993) in the wild atm (+ a few fantasy ones)
