Maryland License Plates to be MADE in... New Jersey!

Funny, Maryland is now unable to produce their own license plates, in fact New Jersey is being contracted to help (the New Jersey prison system that is), and the Maryland MVA has issued a bulletin saying the tags may look a bit different from what you are used to. I guess they could have gone to China, or some other overseas location.



Here is the Official Bulletin:

Effective September 12, 2006, the State of Maryland will issue license plates manufactured by the State of New Jersey, in addition to the license plates manufactured in Maryland. The alpha and numeric configurations on these plates will have a slightly different look. Specifically the letters S & P & numbers 6 & 9 have a square dye cut vs a round cut.
