Thats pretty cool. Most places will sell old ones to scrap. I have a street
sign somewhere that was reused three times, you can see the old letters under

In a building next to mine at work, they make all the interstate signs for
Missouri. They have a HUGH printer/silkscreen setup that does the big
overhead signs. Its pretty impressive to watch.
