What Will Your State's Quarter Be?

SMELL those trees! Smell those Douglas firs!

– Uke, nostalgic for TWIN PEAKS

I thought Washington State had settled on a U-Haul with California plates as it’s design.


Livin’ on Tums, Vitamin E and Rogaine

TubaDiva: I’d hold out for Didymus Thomas Library in Remsen, myself!

Manhattan: Washington has picked theirs… it’s this picture of a four-pane window, kind of warped in three dimensions… :wink:

I don’t trust that answer, Poly. In fact, you could say that I anti-trust it. :wink:

I like Arnold’s idea for California. Classy.

I’m in Minnesota and we’ll probably have a friggin’ Walleye on ours.

My vote for the coolest one out so far: Connecticut. I love that tree!


Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, dogs are from Pluto.

I just wonder what Wyoming will put. Dirt? Fence posts?


Magnificent to behold - Greatly to be praised.

Living in Minnesota, I’m thinking we should get a snowman…

bad pun comencing:

then we’d have cold cash yuck yuck yuck

I think Arizona’s design will be 3/4 of Illinois’ design, with 1/4 of California’s design worked in.

And since you get 2 for 1, Doc J, you’ve still got a quarter.


Dopeler effect:
The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

I think Utah should honor the same individual they put in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol; Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television!

I know what Texas’ will be: The Alamo. It’s not even a question. Too bad, though. I mean, the Alamo is great and all, but I’m sure we could find something else; try to have a little variety, ya know?

This only lists the first five states with coins. It doesn’t list any of the other ones yet, but my guess about Michigan’s coin would be either a Wolverine (yawn, how original) or the Mackinac Bridge. Of course, my choice would be a crack dealer standing at the corner, paying his weekly bribe to the local cops (Just Kidding!!)

Cessandra, for Texas, how about a representation of all the flags that have ever flown over the state? I don’t think that would ever be chosen (for reasons of nationalism), but I remember reading that the state of Texas has the record for that?

If I remember correctly:
Spain, France, Mexico, Republic, Confederacy, Union?

That’s right Arnold, the six flags over Texas. We even have a theme park named after it, right here in Houston. It’s called Six Flags Astroworld.

I bet Florida will have a stupid orange, like on our ugly new license plates. Can’t blame 'em though, it’s not like they can put smuggled drugs, the real main commodity on there.

In Nebraska, we were crestfallen when we learned the football team couldn’t be on there.

Well, (smirking) here in Illinois it could be Cecil Adams as portrayed by Slug. It’ll probably end up something feeble like an ear of corn impaled on the horns of the Hancock tower.

Hey, for Kansas, how about an ape within a circle with the “banned” diagonal hatch mark?

Colorado here. It’s definately going to be something related to the mountains for us. Maybe a guy on skis tumbling down. . .

And now, for my next trick, I will talk in spooky half-references.

New Mexico reporting in.

We could go with something like a desert landscape, or a hot air balloon, or a conquistador (should be nice ‘n’ controversial), or an Indian pueblo, or a yucca, or a roadrunner, or the Zia emblem.

Or, if I manage to convince my state government to commemorate for posterity Governor Gary Johnson’s notorious libertarian stance toward drug legalization, George Washington smoking a joint.

I vote for this one. :slight_smile:

Y’all will do better than Georgia did – our quarter is boring. 4th in line to sign and probably only because Button Gwinnett was late for a party or something. “Let me sign and get outta here, I got a duel to fight.”
