HAWAII CHOOSES STATE QUARTER DESIGN FINALISTS

According to an August 23 report in the Molokai Times "Governor Linda
Lingle today accepted five recommended design concepts, themes and
narratives from the Hawai'i Commemorative Quarter Advisory Commission
(HCQAC) for Hawai'i's commemorative quarter.

The Advisory Commission unanimously agreed on the five design concepts,
themes and narratives to submit to the United States Mint. The design
concepts include: 1) Surfing - Hawai'i's Gift to the World; 2) Aloha
Spirit (Hula Dancer); 3) Diamond Head; 4) Hawai'i, The Island State
and 5) Hawai'i - Diverse But Unified.

"The process the public and the Commission went through was a great
opportunity to reflect on what makes our island home special and what
themes are most emblematic of our state," said Governor Lingle. "I am
honored to be able to submit the five design concepts to the United
States Mint on behalf of the people of Hawai'i."
