They had no answer (other than we're greedy bastards and just want it). I pointed out that the next year, I would pay the same amount as someone getting a new commemorative plate except that the other guy would get a plate and I wouldn't and explained that the plates, therefore, must be free.

I got the usual blank DMV stare that you can only get at the DMV.
Yebbut you should se how much they cost in the UK..... and you can't just make them up. all plates must have numbers and letters in a set pattern.... so you have to use numbers that look like letters etc.
