State Quarters
Hi, I was looking the other night at the 50 State Quarters page and noticed no one had made a comment about the controversy over Oklahoma's proposed designs. I noticed you deleted what I had posted, and I didn't save it on my computer either. This was my first, and probably last edit, and didn't know how to link the pages. These are the links that can be used, but I have a feeling the effort I put into my edit is completely lost now.

I live in OK and the quarter design controversy was a big news story for a while, that's the only reason I posted it. If it still shows on my profile page somewhere and I can repost it, could you let me know how? I'd really appreciate it! Reesa4ou (talk) 23:34, 24 September 2010 (UTC)reesa4ou


 * Here is your text: "*Oklahoma: Oklahoma residents had five designs to vote from and the four non-winning designs all featured a variation of the Pioneer Woman Statue in Ponca City, OK. The actual statue has the pioneer woman carrying a book under her right arm, but in all of the quarter designs the book had been removed. The artist who designed the statue put no name on the book, but it is implied that it's a Bible. Due to guidelines the US Mint placed on the 50 State Quarter program, the book was removed in the final coin proposals sent to the state, which caused slight controversy with Oklahomans."
