Passenger Plates
1992 - 1999
1992November - December
AAA1000 - AAR9999
Fully reflectorized graphic plates were issued for the first time in November 1992.
These plates have 7 digits, in AAA0000 format, and the little New Jersey separator is gone.
The letters O and I are no longer used on standard passenger plates from this point forward (Q was never used).
1993AAS1000 - ADJ9999
BA-100A - CN-999Z
A short while after the release of the 7-digit plates, they were discontinued because of "poor readability". Huh ?
(Block letters, 3-alpha, 4-numeric, how simple can ya get ????)
The last 7-digit passenger plate issued was ADJ9999.
Vanity: ADK1000
If the 7-digit series would have continued, this plate would have been issued next.

A variation on a theme.
Or an accident at the plate shop. Whichever.
