Despite the superstition surrounding license plates with the numbers 49 and 53, there are some individuals who are willing to spend millions of dong to own them.

During an auction on January 13, 2024, a “special” license plate was auctioned and continues to create a buzz on the internet.

License plates containing the numbers 49 and 53 are often considered bad luck, causing drivers to avoid them at all costs. In some cases, individuals may feel uncomfortable or even want to sell their cars if they end up with these numbers on their license plates.

However, there are exceptions to this belief, as evidenced by someone who recently paid 45 million dong for license plates ending with 49 and 53. The license plate 30L-049.53 was sold for an additional 5 million dong above the base price. The identity of the person who bid 45 million dong for the license plates 30L-049.53 has caught the curiosity of internet users.

According to folklore, the ages of 49 and 53 are considered to be challenging periods in human life. Hence the saying, “Not yet 49, 53 has already come.” This belief is the main reason why drivers have a negative view of the numbers 49 and 53.

However, there is no official answer as to whether the license plates 49 and 53 are truly bad or not. Many consider these numbers to bring bad luck based on Feng Shui and ancient beliefs. Ultimately, whether license plates with the numbers 49 and 53 are considered bad or not is a matter of personal perspective.

With a winning bid of just 45 million dong, the buyer only needs to pay an additional 5 million dong to register the license plates 30L-049.53 for any desired car, including used cars.
