Va wildlife refuge could appear on new quarters

SUFFOLK, Va. - An effort is under way to put the Great
Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge on a new series
of quarters honoring national parks.

At least one state senator has written to Gov. Timothy
M. Kaine on behalf of the refuge, and officials in
Suffolk and Chesapeake plan to adopt resolutions of
support.

An image of the southeastern Virginia refuge could
represent the state on the new coins as part of an
act that Congress passed in December to issue a set
of quarters that showcases a national site from each
state. It would be similar to the 50 State Quarters
program, a 10-year series that ran through last year.
