Our Michigan quarter sucks.
It's political correctness at work. If you put natural wonders on a coin, no one can really argue with it, and it makes the enviros happy.
But if you start putting things you are proud of from your history, expect the leftists to come out screaming. Monticello? Jefferson owned slaves! The alamo? Anti-mexican!
Let's not even get into southern plantation buildings or native americans.
Cheesy and corny with a cow.
I can't wait for the Washington quarter. I'll bet it's a hammer and sickle with the Stalin quote "It's not who votes, it's who counts the votes."
