This has politics written all over it. Governors these days are falling all over themselves trying to show how committed they are to education issues. While its a nice little schoolhouse design it really says nothing to me about Iowa as a state. The same schoolhouse could be from any state. If they really wanted Grant Wood the famous "American Gothic" is a much better design but that battle has already been fought. I feel it's a case of the best of what's left. Everyone I talked to really wanted the "Young Corn" design, but I believe it was decided it just wouldn't translate to a coin well enough. To me, it's so much better than the livestock option, I'm not complaining. Mark |
