Western Numerals Anyone?

Man pays $14 million for a license plate ‘1′ in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Okay, so first of all, some people have too much money and not enough brains. But that’s old news.

More importantly how the hell can a license plate, according to the article, have “only the western numerals” instead what is apparently the norm in UAE, to”carry both Arabic and western numerals and script”? Our modern-day western numeral ARE Arabic numerals.

Anyone? Anyone?

*shakes head*
