    I'll second that...Mooooooooooo.

    Yet another SQ design mired in politics that will forever go into the record books as an "ordinary, lackluster mint issue". Too bad, I was hoping something better for you Wisconsinites.

    What?? No Robert LaFollette portrait to show the great Progressive tradition of Wisconsin? image

    It is bad enough we had three bad choices, but to pick the worst is just typical for the losers here in Wisconsin. I guess someone had to be the worst. What a let down, to look forward to a new Wisconsin coin since 1999, and then get this thing. We want to proclaim tourism, and I guess this is how we do it, we make ourselves look stupid!

    and so on, and so on, you get the idea

  • Well, at least it dosen't follow the "Let's put an outline of our state on the coin!" trend.

    And it's still better than the coin the FIB's have.

    I am surprised at you fcloud -


    Wisconsin cheese is sold around the world - and they were the largest dairy state for over 100 years until passed by CA; WI still has the most dairy farms of any state

    If you compare the gross sales of agriculture versus tourism in WI, I doubt if they are close.


    You must be in the tourism.service sector rather than agricluture sector.



    I am glad the cow got it -

    I still vote that it'll be a sheep by the time the mint's done with it...

    A picture of a cow on your state's quarter. Ouch.

    It could have been worse - like an idiot Packers fan with a giant piece of yellow styrofoam on his head. Now that would be an embarrassment.

  • Sounds like this is going to drive the coin vault guys into a selling frenzy.
