<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 214332, member: 4626&quot;]One of our first commemorative coins featured Queen Isabella of Spain, so it&#039;s not like depicting a monarch on a US coin would be unprecendented.&nbsp; (And as Aidan pointed out, technically the coin isn&#039;t depicting a king; it&#039;s depicting a statue of a king.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think anyone would object to depicting the king that united the Hawaiian Islands, without which there wouldn&#039;t be the state of Hawaii.&nbsp; As for legal matters, you can put pretty much anything you want on a coin if Congress approves.&nbsp; There&#039;s no standing law I know of that forbids depicting monarchs on US coins, and even if there was, Congress could pass a one-time exception if they chose.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I like #3.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s getting rediculous with how many states put the state outline on their quarter, as if they couldn&#039;t think of anything unique about their state besides what it looks like on a map.&nbsp; Diamond Head and Kamehameha are both much more signficant aspects of Hawaii than what their map looks like.&nbsp; Would be a great way to end the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
