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.

Summary of those know so far - if anyone likes to map make.

How do you get a license tab sticker that says 2015?  And also bitcoin on the sticker?

I just paid for two years I guess.  Maybe not all states do that.  I even paid with Bitcoin.

Not all states are necessarily annual.

Typically, the year stickers have the license plate number they belong to if made for a specific plate, like when the plate is new, or when renewal is done by mail.  No one ever looks at front plates, so putting the plate number (or a code that can be queried in a database) on the sticker keeps people from updating two cars for the price of one.

Uhhhh, yeah, I'm kidding about the Bitcoin part.  Maybe some day... :-)

I wonder if when Bitcoin is seen as a major nuisance by the US authorities could they revoke those plates stating that they are "offensive"?

Awesome!

North Carolina are already ahead of the curve with that, though only considering them to be in poor taste rather than offensive so far.



North Carolina - The NC DMV has rejected the application for the license plate 'BITCOIN' because it 'could be considered in poor taste'

That is probably the lamest rejection excuse I have ever heard...

"poor taste" WTF

BTW, $30 for choosing your name in your car is cheap. I hope one day we have that in Europe

I know, 'poor taste' is such as bad reason.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

NC has a warp definition of what is considered "Poor Taste".











Yet this is forbidden:

I love Fiat! no.. wait.. only the cars - I love BTC!



Unfortunately you can't do 7 letters in my state - so BITCOIN was out. (But that would have been snapped up by now anyway!)

As for why 999 - well the more BTC the better right!?

[Otoh]

Nice, what State is that?

A Fiat as in a play on fiat currencies, very good.

Yes - and the Fiat was bought with fiat currency unfortunately, but I did ask the seller if he accepted Bitcoin.  He hadn't heard of it but politely said he thought it was interesting.
It was bought somewhat unplanned when I was out of town, and I had to drive a few hundred km back home to get the Fiat fiat rustled together... would have saved me a lot of travelling if he'd accepted Bitcoin!

Cool, thanks, have added it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=114040.msg1230829#msg1230829 so far just US & Aus represented, surprising that haven't seen some BTC type plates from other countries as yet.

You are nuts.// this ROCKS

Do you pay extra charge for custom plates in the US?

It varies by state, but there is usually some one time extra fee.

Will take several weeks though...
