State Quarters?

I was just recently reading in the newspaper about my state's (Washington) quarter soon to be released, here is the design

I like it, it seems a bit busy, but compared to the other two entries its definately the best.

So i ask you, what has been your favorite State Quarter released thus far, design wise, also, if youre state has already released a quarter, are you satisfied with the design and the state icons featured on it? I have noticed some states put some stupid things on their quarters...

but that beauty can make you richer, if you find one with an extra leaf on the husk it is considered a mistake and this mistake can make you anywhere from $200-$20,000 richer

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

All we got for Mississippi's quarter was a pile of magnolias, and in fact, we were the only state that did not have a state wide quarter design contest. I think the Mississippi Arts Commission had three designs drawn: the magnolias, one with the outline of the state with a magnolia, and one with a magnolia (the state flower) and the mockingbird (the state bird). Then-Governor Ronnie Musgrove chose the Magnolia one. Needless to say, a year or so later, he lost his bid for re-election to Haley Barbour.

However, if you do get a hold of a Mississippi quarter, you will notice that each flower has six petals. The six petals make up the magnolia blossom, and these symbolize the nations or tribes that have ruled Mississippi and thus make up its history. (BTW, the 6 rulers are Native Americans, France, Spain, Great Britain, the Confederate States, and the United States).

Atlanta Braves, please bring back the Indian Head logo.

Well, when and if I find one of those my opinion on it will make a complete 180. But until then, I hate it :P

How is that dumb, it's good for the state quarter of Utah, it represents Utah...

Well there are other possibilities....but most of them would result in some soon deleted Mormon joke.

I guess the only safe suggestion would be a beehive.

You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting. Kind of a low-rent DG_Now.
