MORE ON THE ALASKA STATE QUARTER DESIGNS

Regarding the Alaska State Quarter designs, Dick Hanscom writes: "I
was on the commission to select designs. We looked through 800+ design
concepts, mixed, matched, etc. and forwarded five to the Mint.  We got
the five back, eliminated one completely, made changes and the results
are what you see.  Our role is pretty much over now and it is in the
governor's hands.

"The descriptions of the designs are not correct as we did not put
"Denali National Park" on any of the quarters, but we did put the
mountain "Denali" (known to you outsiders as Mt. McKinley). That was
how the mint described the designs; we corrected them, but they
apparently did not get the message."
