I can't believe the mint makes 5 million to 8 million quarters PER DAY!! That's a ton!!
Do they have a quarter quota? lol
The fact that the transcontinental railroad's significance to Utah and the Nation is too little known is an excellent reason to have it on the quarter.
I was thrilled by Idaho's quarter too.
If there are people who don't know about it this will be a great opportunity for them to be exposed to a little bit of history; perhaps some of them will decide to find out more and discover one of the defining events in the history of this nation, and it happened right here in Utah.
Being from Arizona, this is why alot of people feel life Utah always misses the mark (except the Olympics, well done!)
I agree that Promentory was an important event, but it was only incindental to Utah. Its occurance here was a function of time and distance.
I would have preferred a beehive or even the tired image of Delicate Arch.
