Boo, hiss, snarl, growl, cry...what ever happened to a solid design that stood the test of time?

 

So, is every state and territory going to have one of these quarters as well? If so, what are states going to do who used their only national park on the "state quarter" series (such as Oregon).

 

Maybe a different view of the park?

 

That link is dated February 17, 2009.

Just the other day this thread was sharing some links and thoughts on this program as well.

 

create a new one.

 

Pot sh__ out o' luck?

 

Interestingly enough. Delaware doesn't qualify, as it doesn't have ANY national sites, and they're doing sites in order of when the national parks were authorized by congress beginning with Yellowstone park, which was in the Wyoming territory.

 

Yeah, they could view the lake from the other side.

 

NOOOOO, the quarters will be issued in the order in which the depicted area became a national park, or national historic site or whatever it is.

Actually it does. Part of a national park in a neighboring state includes a little bit of territory in DE.

He has 270 days, not six months. The legislation was signed into law Dec 23rd. If he had six months he would have had to have them all selected by June 23rd not Sept 19th. (Now we know why we have cost overruns and missed deadlines, they think 270 days is six months.) Now 48 days from deadline they are starting to take the first steps toward selecting SITES, not designs but sites. After they select the sites, then they have to come up with designs, and then run those designs past the CFA and CCAC, and those two groups don't meet every week folks. I could easily see it being sometime in Nov before the final designs are selected. I think they are gambling a lot that their wonderful computer programs will be able to create directly coinable three dimentional dies from two dimentional drawings.

 

Couldn't see any designs yet. I guess they're choosing the site itself.

 

I wonder how old I'll be, when the quarters go back to a normal design that isn't always changing....

Telling my grandchildren: "ah yes, it was 1998, I was in 6th grade, and little did I know, that was the last year of the normal Washington quarter..."

 

Actually there are a few other NP sites in Oregon:

I am an Oregon native, and although Crater Lake is the most well-known (and really awesome IMO), either the Lewis & Clark site or the fossil beds site would make for a historically meaningful coin reverse.
