(scroll to

stallions and a herd of buffalo, a covered wagon, .the Rockies, and
Mount
Rushmore. It will be interesting to see how these translate into a
struck
coin.

Washington on both sides of the South Dakota quarter.

How often does the same person appear on both sides of the same coin?


Most every time a politician runs for office.

Why, those lying sacks of...state quarters. Goldurn their eyes!

The New Jersey quarter and the Lincoln Memorial cent come to mind. And, of
course, there are a few commemorative coins like the Boone Half dollar and
the LaFayette Dollar.

South Dakota's quarter would have been better
without the pheasant.

Pheasant are not native to the US.

Then again, most of us are decedents of introduced species.

I'm not a decedent - not yet, anyway.

My dyslexia gets the best of me from time to time.

Or is it ADD?

Every time a Lincoln Memorial cent comes out of the press.

James

Yep, and the NJ quarter too.

I lobbied against that one. It seems to me to be kinda
depressing to show a rock formation--similar to so many
others throughout the western US--that voyagers saw as
they quickly exited the state in search of greener pastures..

I've been told that Chimney Rock has...not collapesd completely,
but has lost quite a bit of height. So Nebraska joins New Hampshire
as a state whose quarter design no longer reflects reality.

The Nevada Quarter should be released in San Dimas CA.


The four Cartwrights on horseback as they appeared in the opening
credits
of Bonanza would have made an interesting design for the Nevada
quarter.
