The new Ohio license plates dubbed "Beautiful Ohio" are now available.  Although they are not mandatory, you can now get one as there have been over 1 million produced (943,650 with pre-stamped numbers and 120,000 blank plates).

Ohio's Governor Ted Strickland's wife Frances, helped with the design of the new plate which shows a farm, a bright sunshine and of course the Wright brothers airplane (as Ohio is known for the Birthplace of Aviation).

At first this plate was thought to be the new replacement of all current Ohio plates, but with the economy in the state of recession that it is currently in, the Department of Public Safety made the new plate optional to purchase.
