I like to collect watches, handbags and shoes.

You never know…

license plates are actually more interesting than you think. For example, the current UK back and front plates follows the license plate setup of a 2-3 letter area code, an age identifier, and then two random characters. The area code depends on where the vehicle is registered. The first letter of the alphabet determines where in general the plate comes from, for example L for London, and the second letter determines where more specifically it comes from, LA-J for Wimbledon. The age identifier is the last 2 digits of the year, 23 out of 2023 when said plate is issued from March-August, or 73 for 2023 when issued from September-February (+50 to the 2 last digits of the year). The Last part is 3 random letters, excluding I and Q.

License plates also have fascinating histories that track back to the early settlers, and many plates look similar to their other geographically close countries. There are also fun little quirks you can notice yourself. I haven’t done any research on California license plates but all standard-issue plates follow the format of #XXX###, and truck plates follow the format #X##### or #####X#

I find them pretty interesting as well; I was poking fun at your collection techniques, not the object of your interest.

I wouldn't call myself a "collector" of plates, but I have a few that I have picked up here and there while on hunting trips. My favourite:

So...you wanna live forever?

To quote one of the elder statesman of the hunting world: Variety is not the spice of life; peril is.

I wonder if I could incorporate license plates into tank decor. How would I go about making it safe?

Something along the lines of clear coat Krylon fusion spray should seal it.
