utah quarter
Got my first Utah quarter in change today. Been about three weeks since the coin was issued. Believe it's the first state quarter to feature locomotives.
I thought Delicate Arch was the icon of Utah, but the Golden Spike apparently won out.
My favorite remains Connecticut. A lovely poem for a mere two bits.

(The story that the names of Delicate Arch and Landscape Arch were inadvertently exchanged due to a signage mixup by the National Park Service is false.)Need maps? www.drycanyonmaps.com

Nice, but I agree the arch might have been better. Thanks for posting.

I agree that most people don't see the correlation with "golden spike" and Utah, I think the arch, or mountains would have been better, but I also see where they were going with the history portion of this.
Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.
