From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747

Am i seeing washington on both sides of the coin? Kind of like Lincoln on both sides of the penny or the Queen on both sides of the $20 for $20 silver jubilee coins?

Believe it's Washington... and Jefferson's nose. So yeah. Washington was also on both sides of the South Dakota state quarter and... umm... the New Jersey quarter, right?

I don't like State, Territory or Nat. Park Quarters that don't use up the space on the back of them like Wyoming...

Now that I'm on a rant -
Why is it generally true, that US coin designs are...1) hideous...and 2) so poorly executed..?
Canada's coins are exquisitely detailed by comparison.
It wasn't always this way.

The Onion had a hilarious story when the state quarters were being rolled out, something like "South Dakota considering Mt Rushmore for their theme."
