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.
