<p>[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 712191, member: 6463"]1) Yes they will be different. I've only seen the designs once but I seem to remember a band around the outside of the reverse in which the name of the park is written. This will distinquish them from State Quarters very easily in hand. </p><p> </p><p>2) Agree Teddy should be honored and maybe a 3 inch bronze medal would be more fitting just not the quarter. I like Washington's portrait and he certainly deserves the honor. Teddy saved the Parks but without Washington we would be collecting pence and pounds and signing God Save the Queen.</p><p> </p><p>3) Answered in the previous question but one person's boring is another persons enjoyment. It's not like the portrait hasn't evolved over time. It will also be retooled for the Park series. I'd like to see them go retro and go back to the original 1930's design. It was a higher relief.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
