Kids, keep busy swapping those plates,

The details of the plates would be interesting, aka how easy to
counterfeit or collect a set of snazzy/cool/wicked/whatever sayings.

Some towns in my vicinity issued bicycle plates quite a while ago
(1950s?). They are now collectors' items, albeit not worth a great
deal. I still have a sticker on the down tube of my bicycle issued by
the University of Texas in the 1980s, as I recall they threatened to
remove any bicycles locked on campus without one, it was promulgated as
an anti-theft measure.
