<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1295208, member: 31533"]Don't know if it's below her dignity, to me the designs are less than what I would like (considering some of the other state designs) and seems like they were just dashed off without too much thought. For example, the cowboy on the Wyoming one is the SAME as on the Wyoming state license plates. You can hardly call throwing this item on the reverse of a coin and pairing it with the state motto some kind of artistic design. IMO any 4th grader could have done that. The peregrine falcon on the Idaho quarter is ok, but there are many other things Idaho is known for that could have better represented the state, and finally Montana's buffalo skull could have been much better. Why a dried out skull? There is no "life" to that, and kind of represents Montana as some barren land. Montana is (as is Idaho and Wyoming) a vastly beautiful state that has so much more to offer as it's representation than an old buffalo skull.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks to me as if she just put no thought into it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Addendum: her Jane Pierce is quite well done and very nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
