The California quarter does not suck.

Yay!

I was kinda hoping for the Rock Goddess design, but this one will do nicely.

Hey, nice!

Thumbs up for a complete and utter lack of a state outline!

And, hey, John Muir on a coin. Kewl.

Looks like Muir's gonna get a California Valley Quail up the schnozz if he's not careful.

(Or whatever that is... I'm guessing the state bird, but it looks more hawklike than quailey. Maybe it's just now devoured the quail and is planning on tasty tasty Muir eyes for dessert.)

Yeah, I can see why you like it - it's got an old crusty dude on it.

Seriously, it's cool. That's Half Dome, yes?

It wasn't a rock.

It was a rock...goddess!

Rock goddess!

GOCK ROD!

That's a California Condor, you backwater inhabitant.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Whatever it is, it's gonna be nasally implanted in a couple of seconds if he doesn't duck.

Nah, that bugger has a 10-foot wingspan, and it's 50 yards behind him. Of course, it may be partial to Muirish Nostril Sushi...

It's got an old guy, and a rock. What's not to love? But why isn't there a map of California on the coin? Other coins feature the state's outline, presumably to help 7th graders pass Social Studies. Forgoing the California on the coin is just mean. Think of the children!

Hey, California ranks near the bottom in money spent on education per capita. The coin is just more proof of that! AHNULD MOCKS THE LITTLE ONES, LIKE IN "KINDERGARTEN COP".
