State Treasurer Brian K. Krolicki announced today that a majority of those voting for the state quarter chose "Morning in Nevada," the quarter design with three galloping wild horses, sagebrush along the bottom of the quarter, a sur rising behind snow-capped mountains, with the State's nickname "The Silver State."
I found some small pictures of the winning and other proposed designs http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3301877&nav=168XZStJ
"morning in Nevada" is the most cluttered of the five designs, so its only natural they would choose that one. It's not exactly what I think of when remembering Nevada, which is seldom.
Perhaps they should have gone with a pair of dice, a slot machine, and a roulette wheel for the reverse instead.
Cloudsweeper99, Neveda WILL get their silver quarter but it will be issued by the U.S. Mint in the silver sets!
Old Dan: Don't you like those hot, dry deserts? And the mirages? Palindrome: How about adding the Palamino Ranch to the reverse?
I saw a suggestion for the Nevada state quarter a while back that someone had actually turned up with their CAD/CAM machine and it had a topographical map of Nevada with a flat, blank spot where Area 51 is. I thought that would have been appropriate.
