California State Quarter Design-Wondercoin??

It looks like 5 designs for the 2005 California State quarter have been chosen and are ready for review by the mint (which has final say in the design).

#1 Miner with goldpan, redwood and bear - boring!
#2 Golden gate bridge with Hollywood sign - Better
#3 Waves and sun - simple and nice looking but will never happen (too much stuff to cram on a coin in California).
#4 Bear with Yosemite's half dome in background - neat

they go on and on!

How about Mitch Spivack alias: Wondercoin as the final design? We could have him riding a wave of quarters or panning for gold or something. Please feel free to add your thoughts for the final design as it's not too late!

    Im disappointed that the Governor, the review panel and the Mint passed on my various suggestions made on TV a few years ago:

    1. A white Bronco followed by a line of police cars

    2. the San Andreas fault down the middle of the coin, and with some pressure the coin would split in two creating the first 12.5-cents coin

    3. making the coin a 35-cent coin to account for the inflation of Calfiornia real estate prices

    cheers, alan mendelson
