Publisher's Synopsis
What is that design on my quarter? Each one is a unique piece of art. This simple guide shows a larger than life-size image for each state and describes the stories behind what appears on it. Every design is a little piece of of history, of nature or culture so special the residents of that state wanted to honor it and share with the rest of the country. In this book you will learn answers to questions like: What did blind and deaf girl Helen Keller do as an adult? What color was the Statue of Liberty originally? Who made the famous midnight ride featured on the Delaware coin? What did Buffalo Bill's Wild West show have to do with woman's equality? In what state is the worlds only publicly accessible diamond mine?
