On the Road in Belarus
The collector that sent me this picture
writes:
"In Belarus, MI plates are the most rare. Normally, only government officials have
them but the Mafia pays a lot of money for these numbers. If the first number is a
zero, it is even more rare. 01 - 03 can cost up to $400 extra.
0025 on the pictured plate is really unusual. This plate is in the range of
the president's car pool but it lacks the government seal.
Usually,
MI plates are on expensive, black vehicles with dark tinted windows."
