My Two Cents on Colorado’s Two Bits
By Greg Cohn, 3-10-05
The new quarters are a-comin', and hey, they're free with purchase. Colorado Luis has this post about the design contest, which is now down to five minty-fresh finalists including Mesa Verde (pictured), a skier against mountains, a columbine against mountains, and other mountain-oriented subjects from that tourism-friendly species, brochuras familias.
Apparently the First Lady likes mountains. Who knew?
To view the other finalists, insert coin.
I myself am partial to Mesa Verde, though I will neither confirm nor deny rumors that this is entirely due to the potential for puns on "the four quarters" region.
