Those would all be "standard" issue plates in RI (no extra fee).

The first one would be a governer's prefered plate (lots of people in RI want their initials with 1 or 2 numbers... so you inquire with the governor's office each month to see what plates with your initials are available.) The second and third would be generic plates and I'm sure they're already in circulation (our old plate format was AB 123, until this summer when they started issuing new plates with 6 numbers)

They actually run a weekly vanity plate article in the Cars section of the paper here, people submit a picture of their plate along with the story behind it. There are lots of silly plates here, but some people have very creative ones too.

Our MINI customers are more likely to have a vanity plate, and I've seen some very good ones.

Cost for a standard passenger is plate is $60 for 2 years, while a vanity plate is $240 for 2 years (they doubled it this year, used to be $120 for 2 years).
