countdown to 2007
In world-historical terms it’s nearly 2007, the year that Washington will have its moment in the spotlight by being featured on the quarter-dollar coin! Just try to contain your excitement as you browse through the slideshow of suggestions submitted to the Seattle Times. [#]
The best part of the piece is comparing the ideas from readers to a 2002 story that tried to explain why the state quarters were all so ugly. [slate] Let’s hope that the people responsible for the actual design will come up with something reminiscent of Rhode Island or Connecticut rather than South Carolina or Ohio.
What would you put on our quarter?

Thanks, Josh, for posting the link to that Slate article. The quarter analysis on that site is laugh-out-loud funny and really brilliant design critique!
it’s just so sad that so many of the quarters made after that article embraced all of the flaws.
it would really be great if Washington put Washington on the Washington state quarter.
