12/15 So did anyone see the California Quarter coming out next year? The 7th largest economy, birth of modern cinema and the PC industry the gold rush, and all they could think of was John Muir and Yosemite? Shouldn't they have pictures of things like The Golden Gate? \_ I think you're overestimating both the seriousness of this program and the information density of engravings on one side of a quarter. Look at what some of the other states have: http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_program/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=schedule \_ Well, some of the other options had a lot more interesting takes. There was a page up some time ago to vote for the quarter design. A number of them pulled in icons from all over the state, and some actually looked nice. \_ 7th largest? I thought it's the 4th. \_ 5th, according to the state website: http://commerce.ca.gov/state/ttca/ttca_homepage.jsp \_ golden gate does not represent california anymore than disneyland or hollywood. |
