OldDan Pillar of the Community United States 1203 Posts	Posted 11/21/2005 11:30 pm The choice of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski's cabin, was a first so far as coin designs go. At least it would have been original. Oh well, I guess the old Grizz in Yellowstone are getting just too much for Montana to handle. Report this Post to the Staff
longnine009 Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 11/22/2005 08:30 am Bears are without a doubt my favorite critters. I remember seeing some really good drawing of them too when they were trying to decide what to put on one of the nickels. I used to have a screen saver of a submarine that broke through the ice (probably in OldDans back yard) and three polar bears were checking it out and seemed a bit confused about the whole thing. Guess they thought they had food for the rest of winter--hey man we just gotta bat this sucker over the head a few times and drag it out the water.

catman Rest in Peace United States 954 Posts	Posted 11/22/2005 12:55 pm I can't let this pass. I think it's a crime not to have selected the cat. It graceful, fast, smart, agile and sleek. Wait....! maybe a cat wouldn't make a good representation of Montana.. catman Report this Post to the Staff

My appologies to my Montana friend on this forum. I was only kidding, really! Edited by OldDan 11/22/2005 1:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 11/22/2005 2:23 pm The Pole Cat has not been fairly represented on any coin and I can tell you from a first hand experience in 1973 that animal gets all DUE RESPECT from me. Actually no other animal COMMANDS the repect of the old pole cat and he/she has never been chosen to represent the good in anything or state! At least the possum gets a few jokes now and then!
