Though I do not live in South Dakota, it is my sentiment that Mt. Rushmore
is such an awesome achievement that it would be sad if it is not depicted on their quarter. Larry 'diversity makes life go around' |

Larry 'diversity makes life go around' I would be shocked if one of the Mt. Rushmore designs was not the top vote getter. |

Mt Rushmore already got a series of commems. My choice would have been Crazy Horse, as Tom Delory mentioned, but it's not even in the running. All of the designs sound sucky, but at least there's no SOs, so that elevates them to middling-good at least. -- Bob |

Somewhere there would be a loud voice of protest over it. IIRC the sculptor was not Indian, or am I wrong here? John |

I believe Crazy Horse would be a good idea but in this era of political correctness, any reference to his name would probably have to be to his true Native American Name rather than "Crazy Horse". But, I could be wrong. Cliff Oh, I did hear, not too long ago that there were talks going on about selling Mt. Rushmore and moving it. It seems that the Canadians have fallen in love with it and are willing to pay some pretty good cash to get it. |

Hmm..... the Canadians could have their own Mt. Rushmore as they have
plenty of mountains out west to choose from. Are any of their prime ministers worthy of the honor? Maybe explorers (Mackenzie?) or some hockey heroes. |
