Quarters of the 50 States

Anyone out there collecting the quarters of the fifty states? Each state has their own individual design on the back. Pretty cool stuff. I'm missing a few, but I'm complete the set here soon enough. Thing is some of them are a little bizarre. i mean I don't see how they reflect the various states, but maybe you can figure it out.
Thought I'd share a few of my favorites...


NORTH CAROLINA: A violent image of the Wright Brothers strafing a Zombie. I don't think its historically accurate, but it sounds cool

SOUTH CAROLINA: Definitely not as cool as their neighbor to the north. Just a palm tree and a bird. I bet hoodlums from NC like to rough up folks from SC over this one.

WASHINGTON: A giant sea bass attacks Mount Hood. I have this fantasy that the volcano erupts and a giant fillet o' fish smashes Seattle.

LOUISIANA: It's a nice, simple design, maybe a little egotistical as the state is practically as big as the whole country. I would have liked a mardi gras reveler flashing her boobs. If it was between the quarter and a parking ticket I'll keep the quarter

KANSAS: Not much here. Just a buffalo crapping on flowers. Been to Kansas though, that's got to be about the most interesting thing happening.

MASSACHUSETTS: A minuteman. I would have given him a minute girl. "Course, maybe the reason there is no minute girl is because he actually is a minute...

OHIO: In this epic battle between a space man and a riverboat casino I have to go with the space man

VIRGINIA: Has sailing ships. That's night, the wind whipping through the sails, the cool spray at the bow slices through the sea. The wander soars with flights of fantasy, wondering what distant harbors they sailed from-and if the sailors are al-qa'eda and need to be blasted out of the water!

NEW YORK: Ah, Lady Liberty, the Statue of Liberty overlooking the harbor, beckoning the world to send your tired masses, those yearning to be free, after all customs fees and tariffs have been paid, a thorough background check has revealed no terrorist connections , a drug and specimen test has cleared and they abandon their native culture for the American culture that gave you The Brady Bunch, Chicken McNuggets and Full House.

ILLINOIS: There's a homeless guy walking along the highway. I thought it was a little off until I noticed the price of gas, the number of home foreclosures, rising taxes and all the manufacturing jobs sent overseas.

FLORIDA: has the best quarter ever. It shows the space shuttle fighting a pirate ship. Now that's awesome!
