Earlier this summer I decided that I'd found a loophole and ordered 'N0 TAG' and 'N0NE' (zeros) for my motorcycles. The license plate font doesn't distinguish between 0 and O but the computers seem to account for visually similar characters -- I could not order the same plates with Os after they'd issued.
Haven't caught anyone else's tickets so far. SunPass won't accept 'N0 TAG' being associated with my transponder tho (have not tried 'N0NE' yet).
I did get pulled over on my very first ride with 'N0 TAG' and the first words out of the cop's mouth were 'Is that tag legit?' That may or may not have been a factor in catching a warning instead of a ticket that I absolutely earned.

When the German license plates were redesigned in the mid 1990-ies, also a different font was incorporated, which was engineered explicitly to thwart similar-shape attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FE-Schrift
