A Spanish collectorsSA国际影视传媒檚 Facebook post for Northwest Territory (NWT) licence plates has resulted in a slick swap between one Yellowknife resident and one collector.

Tomas Notovny, a resident of Gibraltar (a British Overseas territory in southern Spain), sent out his request for the unique NWT plates on Jan. 26. The request asked residents of the North if they had any plates that they could send his way to compliment his collection.

SA国际影视传媒淭o be honest, NWT plates have one of my favourite designs,SA国际影视传媒� said Notovny in his post. SA国际影视传媒淚 would absolutely love to have some.SA国际影视传媒�

Jesse Wheeler was one of many who responded to NotovnySA国际影视传媒檚 call through the NWT Rants and Raves Facebook page.

SA国际影视传媒淗e just said he was looking for NWT license plates, which is not out of the ordinary,SA国际影视传媒� he said SA国际影视传媒淲hen I lived South, I always had my polar bear plate on my car, and especially in Vancouver where thereSA国际影视传媒檚 so many tourists.SA国际影视传媒�

SA国际影视传媒淚f I was parking at Stanley Park or something like that, there would also be people gathered around it,SA国际影视传媒� he continued. SA国际影视传媒淭hereSA国际影视传媒檚 always an interest in this plate, because I think, I may be mistaken, but I think itSA国际影视传媒檚 the only shaped official license plate in the world.SA国际影视传媒�

The first usage of the plate was during the commemoration of the NWTSA国际影视传媒檚 centennial in 1970, according to Spectacular NWT, having been officially designed by NWT Commissioner Stuart Hodgson
