The problem might not be in the final decision, but the "how did we get to this point?" in the first place. So many of those are so close and similar, it seems you should have just picked the best of the similar ones and dropped the others that are like it, like the flag waving/plating for SC. what were the other options that we dont see where there are missing numbers.

I talked about the State Quarters themselves and quite a few people like the designs of them but also wonder why not use them for a basic teaching tool and all of them simply had the state flag on them? you wouldn't have had the fight over the Wright Brothers between NC and Ohio then and other such nonsense and weirdness on them, like the Marlboro Man on the Wyoming quarter.

Is there a way to see the other designs that were shown in that for 2016? Why don't the people of the state actually get to vote on their coin design for either series?
