Rocky Mountain Money
Colorado's state quarter is making the rounds. The design is quite lovely, but I have to say their choice of "Colorful Colorado" as the motto on the little banner is unfortunate.
Quarters are monochromatic and the motto just makes me feel like I'm missing out. Perhaps they should have gone with the more apt, "Colorado: quite pointy in parts."

As the native Coloradan (pronounced properly with a short "o" followed by a long "o" and two short "a"s...I can't stand it when people say it with the long "a") here, I have to educate everyone that the state motto is in fact "Colorful Colorado", although on a quarter it will probably end up looking more dingy than colorful. Perhaps I will suggest to the state tourism board about the "pointy in parts" slogan. If they choose it, I will certainly give you partial credit!
