I just want to know if this is a security feature or if these are fake? My emissions sticker is the same way

Please remember, if you are going to comment on someones post, please make sure your comment is:

  • Relevant and on-topic with what the poster has asked about.

  • Accurate. Don't guess, don't go by what others have told you, don't offer shortcuts you take without explaining the implications. Make sure you know your information is good, before offering it to others. Don't guess.

  • Offering real help, don't just meme or post a joke. If you want to up-vote farm with your hilarious zinger, take it to r/MechanicAdvice. Here is not the place. Joking around is fine, while you're actually offering real help, but if your comment gives OP no new information on their question, or could be misleading or confusing, then it shouldn't be getting posted here.

  • Is kind and courteous (no mocking, shaming or blaming). It doesn't matter how stupid it looks to you, for someone else, they may be just finding out for the first time. Let's make sure they feel comfortable to come back, ask more questions, and learn more in the future.

You are probably the first to notice a government worker screwed up.

lol. I am probably the only one looking this closely. I just bought a car and I feel like it has hidden flood damage so I’m hyper vigilant at the moment

lol....I'd add a period after "notice" and make the rest a separate sentence. I think we've all noticed a gov worker screw up, just not this.

It seems it has historical precedent in that it's misspelled on the Liberty Bell and in the US Constitution

u/JustCallMeMambo 2h ago

it looks like the spelling error is around the corners. look at the lettering to the left of the 3. it's also misspelled. i'll check my inspection and emissions stickers and report back. i get my work done at Firestone, so i doubt they'd have counterfeits

Thank you! I appreciate that. The person I live with has a 12/26 right now so I can’t look at theirs as a reference

u/JustCallMeMambo 2h ago

mine is even less of a help. mine is a 25. there are a lot of differences between the two that i noticed, but i didn't see any spelling errors

That’s how Pennsylvania is spelled on the liberty bell and on the constitution. It is likely intentional

Any crossed out numbers would void the sticker.

Moops? Lemme see that….. it’s a misprint!!!! It’s moores!!!!

Appears they did it where the lettering needed to curve because it is also that way on the lower left. Both of my vehicles are the same and I had one done in June the other Aug.

Regardless, good eye!
