How about Route 66 on New Mexico’s quarter? April 1, 2006
Posted by Ron in Art, Coins.trackback
A story in the Santa Fe New Mexican reports on the design suggestions so far for New Mexico's quarter coin. Many of the suggestions have included fairly predictable offerings like chile peppers, yucca plants and roadrunners.
There's this, however:
One entrant described a classic car traveling down Route 66 into a sunset.
Not bad. Maybe somebody can come up with an even more striking design that includes the Mother Road.
If you want to make a stab at a design, you can find the instructions here. You don't have to be an artist; submissions are written. Deadline is May 12.
Tucumcari Mountain, a zia, and a 66 shield. Because you can’t render a dazzling blue New Mexico sky in silver.
