What numbers are considered beautiful, how much are the most expensive numbers for a car in Russia and the world
Content
Exclusive automobile signs have the greatest value. The average price tag on them starts from a number with 6 zeros. This is due to the fact that such license plates, in addition to "beauty", are unique.
Some drivers buy the most expensive license plates to show their status. Others are looking for "lucky numbers". Some are ready to give any money for these symbols.
What numbers on a car are considered beautiful
After registering the car, the owner receives a state sign (GRZ) with a random set of letters and numbers. If in many countries beautiful GRPs are officially sold at auctions, in Russia such transactions will be legalized only from January 2021. While the desired combination of characters can be purchased through re-registration or the services of an intermediary with access to the traffic police database.
Number plates on a car are considered beautiful if they:
- "round" with 2 zeros (multiples of 100);
- consist of combinations of numbers from 001 to 009;
- mirrored, where the first and last digits are identical (010, 121, 232, 414);
- include the same numbers as the region code (for example, the number 750 is the same as the Moscow region code - 750);
- are made up of the same characters;
- verbal - combinations with a specific theme or meaning. Some fishermen like CATFISH, EAR. Young people with an aggressive driving style prefer inexpensive license plates with the words “HAM”, “NAH”, “THEFF”.
Mirror state number on the car
The most expensive numbers for a car in Russia are “thieves”. These are special series (EKH, AKR and others) that were issued for certain law enforcement agencies (Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, FSO) or large municipal institutions (for example, for banks).
How much do beautiful numbers on a car cost
If a standard license is issued after paying a fee of 2 rubles, then the price of a certain car sign can vary from 10 to 15 million rubles.
The cost depends on:
- Region. For example, the price of a sign with the code of Moscow (77, 99, 177, 777) will be more expensive than a sign with the meaning of another subject of the Russian Federation.
- Classification by series or number ("thieves", mirror, "round").
The greed of an intermediary can affect the final price of beautiful numbers on a car. In order not to overpay third parties, it is better to focus on the websites of official dealers. Their price list for different "class" GRZ is fixed.

Deciphering beautiful numbers on a car
Many car owners do not know why certain sets of numbers and letters are more expensive than other combinations. To do this, you need to understand what the GRZ is and what its symbols mean.
Beautiful letters on car numbers

- AAA, AMR - Presidential Administration.
- EKH, HKH - FSB, FSO.
- MMM, AKP, VMR - police.
- AMO - Moscow City Hall.
- TFR - Investigative Committee.
- EPE is the United Russia party.
Some motorists believe that cars with such traffic police numbers are never stopped, and attackers are afraid to steal.
Beautiful series of numbers on the car
These include identical symbols endowed with "magic" properties. For example, people believe that 777 are symbols of good luck, and the numbers 888 promise wealth and prosperity.
Signs with 2 zeros are preferred by owners of cars of models such as Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and Mercedes 600. BMW 5 series drivers take “005” numbers for their car, owners of Mazda 3 will use the “003” sign. Spy movie fans choose 007.
It is important to understand that beautiful car numbers perform only a decorative function. Do not count on them to protect against accidents, theft or roadside checks. Drivers should remember to take a license and not violate traffic rules.
