1977 Issued License Plates
This issue was again US made and is the only year to carry the slogan "It's Better in the Bahamas". Like the 1976 issue, these also had wide bolt slots, are commonly found with extra holes, and were required to be turned back into the government at the start of the 1978 series.
US Made Plates
Truck license plates had a "T" prefix stacked against the serial.
Motorcycle plates were around 6" wide and had a different numeric die set than the passenger plates. You can compare the "4" in the above Inagua plate with the "4" on the Spanish Wells passenger plate above to see the difference.
Island Made Plates
Replacement and extra plates were made in the Bahamas - note that there is no slogan on the bottom. These plates are not common.
