This sort of sighting isn't super-exciting at this point, but technically it was a random sighting (it came up at another forum):

I'm well familiar with the phrase "earnings before tax" but I was not aware it was referred to as an acronym in financial circles:

Always cool to see "EBT" used in bills' serial numbers. 

No string of three consecutive letters, but we'll see some "oblique" EBT's in due time (something like EB 01 TA... I suppose the EB xx TR sequence would be the best
even more oblique instances are out there already in the form of AE 02 BT, for example).
So in 2020, Portugal switched from a two-letter plate system to a four-letter system like so:Montgomery Burns wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 1:48 pm Belgian car plate:
