| I love these sorts of collections of cards and similar things.
| The amount of design that goes into them and the different tech
| used is thrilling. I also love the retro design of the website

| student).
|
| I'm personally a big fan of passports and other travel documents.
| Because of the official and international character of them,
| there are government run databases like PRADO [1] and EdisonTD
| [2] that let you see all the different features of each document.
|
| I am disappointed to say I haven't seen a public database that
| covers driving licenses in such detail, but I'd love to know if
| anyone has seen one.

|
| Finding out why it was green was suprisingly hard at the time.
