Arizona's Governor is leaving it up to the people to pick the design of the Arizona quarter. Number five is the Navajo Code Talker design.

What - no buffalo in Arizona? :lol: Every 3rd state seems to have them ;) I'd guess the Grand Canyon (#1) would be the front runner but the code talker one is cool AND probably the most unique design I've seen of any of them.

If the Code Talkers one doesn't win, does it mean that Arizona is full of racists?

March 3, 2008 was a long time coming, but, finally, enlisted man Woody Keeble will be forever saluted by US military officers. Wherever he is, he earned that respect and honor.

Congratulations to The fighting Sioux.
