I did NOT post that lol. It is cute though lol.

I do like our quarter though. I like that its different and am proud that we chose to step outside of the usual and do it well.  Its not a "collage" of symbols. Its simple, peaceful, beautiful. Its like a painting. Its art. I cant help but see the Oklahoma landscape in my minds eye when I see that scissortail.  I dont think there is any other coin like it in the world. It reminds you of home.
