Rhode Island looks like a canadian dime. they really phoned these in,.... had no idea Rhode Island invented the sailboat or Vermont invented snowboarding, or Tennessee invented a power company....

I do like the power lines. Now if Japan could issue a coin with Godzilla wading through power lines, that would be excellent.

I feel like the giant "Bluegrass" across the bamboo really detracts from the Kentucky design. The others convey mainly through image, but Kentucky apparently decided they had to make it extremely obvious. It would've been nicer if they shrank it a bit so they could include a bit more of the neck, and integrate "Kentucky Bluegrass" into the head so that it looked more natural.

I think RI and KY are the superior pair this year. Agreed. Anything with a ship on it is for me. And, I love bluegrass! Quote:

The Rhode Island dollar isn't terribly different from their State Quarter and national park quarter. If I didn't know any better I'd think Rhode Island is an actual island    |

I'll be curious to know what the actual mintages end up being. 2020 was low relative to 2018 & 2019, and has anyone noticed that this week's 2021 North Carolina P rolls are already unavailable? There's a bunch of units left of the D roll.

IMO, Vermont could have done much better than making snowboarding its choice.
The state was the home of many inventions/innovations that are more significant than snowboarding. Inventions such as the electric motor, the electrIc railway, the internal combustion engine, the paddle wheel steamer, artificial refrigeration and others have had a much larger impact on the world than snowboarding!

True, but of all those, which one brings the tourist dollars?  |

The internal combustion engine? I thought that a German invented that. |
