Colorado's not bad. Kind of like North Dakota's. Don't care for Nevada. South Dakota is OK, I guess.

Great faces. Great Places. South Dakota.

I'm surprised Nevada's quarter doesn't have a slot machine, casino or bunny ranch on it.

Next year's coins will be Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. Here are some of the contenders:

Needless to say, these are early proposals and the finalists have not yet been selected. I'm just posting these for fun.

Or a mobile home with a satellite dish.

I love to see the way states treat their history or what they are known for on the designs.

I live in Maryland.

Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner!
Bloodiest battle of the civil war-Antietam!
The Chesapeake Bay -the largest estuary in the US!
Home of the NAVAL academy!

You beat me to it. It appears that for another year, our Maryland retains the title for "stupidest quarter design".

We can only hope that some hapless western state decides to engrave the likeness of a favored document storage facility, or perhaps an impressive overpass, onto their quarter design.

How much do you think the Massachussetts liberals love their quarter with the dead-white-gun-toting-male (perhaps slave-owning) war-mongering minuteman?

What is the thing with the big neck in the background? A dinosaur?

[ssaftler]

What, no sheep on the Montana quarter?

[apackof2]

I really don't care for any of them except Utah

What is that in the 2nd Montana coin?
It looks like the Loch Ness Monster!

[ssaftler]

It was either that or the old wild-eyed Patriot that used to adorn the football team's helmet!

[Appalled but Not Surprised]

Michigan's takes the cake for B O R I N G.

[livius]

I love the Nevada quarter! But then, I'm a horse owner - and Nevada is famous for its mustangs.

I just scanned through the rest of the posts - LOL on the AR quarter!

If you flip the South Dakota coin, you're either gonna get heads, or you're gonna get HEADS.

Look at this hideous gem we got for Tennessee:

We have the Great Smoky Mountains, the Mighty Mississippi, a State Capitol building that was on Confederate currency, the Grand Ole Opry, and Elvis... and we get instruments with the wrong number of strings.

[RayBob]

I believe that is a duck-billed dinosaur... what were they called? Hadosaurs or something like it?

I'm guessing that that won't be chosen as the design...lol
