CS85 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I found a new quarter today from the America The Beautiful series of quarters from the US Mint.http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/atb/^ More about the upcoming series. Pretty cool! Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

TopCat Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Son of a bitch, I just got done completing my 50 states coin collection not too long ago. Now I have to keep up with this thing. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I'm kind of surprised at some of these. I would've expected the Dells for Wisconsin since going there is a right of passage for a lot of Upper Midwesterners (the Apostle Islands are still a huge upgrade over that stupid cow though!) And how could New York go with anything but Niagara Falls? Not to mention some others (i.e. South Dakota) that are gonna be redundant.Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty being listed under New Jersey really, really chaps my ass. I feel you, but it's freakin' Jersey... the only other thing they might have been able to contribute to this series is the shore, and anything that could save us from 50 years of lame jokes like "where's the fist-pumping guidos?" is good with me.

santoleri3 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yeah, bring out the tired, lame New Jersey Jokes. New Jersey could do the shore, as there are tons of historical beaches and lighthouses, but they could also choose Revolutionary War or other historic sites, or even the Princeton Campus. For every hackneyed Jersey post there's something equally nasty about that poster's state, I assure you. Courtesy chapeeko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Why do American protectorates get in on this?Why not? They all use the dollar...they deserve the love too.Guess when I think "America the Beautiful" I think locations within the 50 states. Just me.But then again I'm not making the calls at the mint.

andrewharrington Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 These look so much better than the 50 state quarters.

NJTank Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty being listed under New Jersey really, really chaps my ass. Why you stole those islands from NJ? Those are our islands not New York. They should have always been associated with New Jersey. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
