Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 11:51 pmI'll say this much... at least it doesn't look like something cut off the back of a cereal box. 
And $2 isn't a big deal- the DMV gets away with worse.
My only beef is that they always put the date of issue of the replacement on there, not the date you actually earned the cert.

Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2009 1:51 amWhen did the FAA stop issuing paper certificates and start issuing the plastic cards instead? I earned my PPL spring of '06 and I was issued the credit card style certificate. Yes, the $2 is an inconvenience, but I prefer the plastic card. Much safer in the event your wallet gets soaked...

I can guarantee, if this was a European or British license, with our regulatory bodies, we would probably be paying at least the equivalent of $50-75, maybe even twice that.
I'd be more than happy with $2

For example, updating the UK driving licence costs
