State Quarters

I first heard it as a gag bit in the Conan O'Brien show, which I always watch to put me in a good mood before I sleep. These state quarters are part of a program by the US Mint from 1999 through 2008 wherein each year, they release 5 new designs for the US quarter dollar. These designs are symbols and/or text that best describes the state in a nutshell. For example, in the New York state quarter, there's the statue of liberty, the text "Gateway to freedom" and an outline of the entire state of New York. Out of the 50 designs, 35 have already been released and as predicatable as I can sometimes be, I'll try to collect them all. :D

Here's what I've got so far:

1. California
2. Connecticut
3. Georgia
4. Illinois
5. Kansas
6. Kentucky
7. Louisiana
8. Maryland
9. Massachusetts
10. Missouri
11. New Jersey
12. New Hampshire
13. New York
14. North Carolina
15. Ohio
16. Texas
17. Vermont
18. Virginia
19. Wisconsin

Hey, I have to have a hobby here that won't cost much (well, not until I receive my personnel number so I can start receiving my allowance!)

19 down, 16 to go!
