On This Day in 2008

The final State Quarter - Hawaii - was released.

Arizona Chooses Quarter

I think it is actually kind of pretty.

Oklahoma Chooses Bird

It may not be the worst design ever. Will the poor scissor-tailed flycatcher suffer the curse the United States Quarters?

Oklahoma's Quarter Voting

The voting ends Friday, April the 27th.

From The Land Of Enchantment

New Mexico has picked its winning design.

Alaska Chooses Quarter

Hopefully, the curse of the State Quarters won't hit bears and salmon after Alaska chose that as their design. Salmon, of course, are suffering from a double whammy because they are also on Washington State's quarter.

Hawaii Rejects Hula Dancer

They chose the guy throwing the islands into the water instead of the topless hula dancer. At least they didn't go with the surfing coin.

Arizona's Quarter Candidates

Arizona's Gov. Janet Napolitano has a poll for the Arizona State quarter. At least the Navajo Code talkers coin doesn't have them being impaled on a piece pipe.

Poor Oklahoma

You can vote for the finalists here. (Oklahoma residents only?) The pioneer woman looks like she is being impaled by a peace pipe in two of them. One of them looks like an oil derrick sprouting wheat. The other looks like pioneer woman is going to make her child go work in the fields. (Does OK have child labor laws?) The last one is a bird.
