Maybe some of you have noticed that every year, four new state quarters come out with designs on the back. Which one's your favorite?

I particularly like these:

Vermont

Image

North Carolina

Image

Kentucky

Image

Maine

Image

Oregon

Image

Some of them are so bad they're pathetic though.

I keep hoping that Utah is going to issue one with the Angel Moroni giving the gift of three wives to every faithful Mormon man. :lol:

I just noticed that some of the design entries that lost are way better than the winning entries, examples:


Maryland

Louisiana

Maine and Oregon are qual.

I think Maryland is the one with the big ship...That's my fave.

Alabama's is attrocious.

Maryland has the State House on it, with "Old Line State". I think the 3 Jamestown boats are on Virginia's.

Helen Keller for Alabama? Niiiice.

I do like the new Jefferson nickels, though.

I like the ones where they couldn't really find anything interesting about the state to highlight:

Image Image

Especially the New Hampshire "Old Man of the Mountain," which collapsed like 2 years after they issued the quarter.

Greece

Italy

Portugal
