Alabama state quarter

[edro]

What the hell were they thinking when they put Helen Keller on the Alabama quarter? Every other state quarter has some nature scene or something the state is proud of.
I highly doubt anyone in Alabama is proud of Helen.

That is all...

Who does she think she is, Anne Frank?

Not when she looks in the mirror.

Well, Hellen Keller is great, but I wouldn't expect her to have been on the quarter. If her name were not on it, nobody would recognise who it was. Why not something a little more recognizable, like the Vulcan or the Mid-bay lighthouse? Why not the Yellowhammer (state bird)?

At least they didn't put Don Siegelman on there...

25 cents is 25 cents. Who gives a shit. My 2 cents.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised to see that. I was most disappointed in the CA state quarter though. There are so many cool things they could put on the CA quarter and they chose a few that are less than distinctive (John Muir?)

'Cause you can see his butt!


On second thought, that might make a good state quarter.

I didn't think of that. I for one have no problem mooning the rest of you by proxy.

This might be a good for a statewide campaign to inform the populace of this wonderful new profession.
