Got a new state quarter today, this one for Colorado.
It's real pretty, but I am somewhat baffled. There is a relief of a mountain range on it, and below a small banner with an inscription. Now, maybe I'm just being too picky, but I think the slogan "Colorful Colorado" tends to lose a bit in translation when it's displayed on something that is decidedly monochromatic.
Thankfully, there is a place that I'm certain will be able to provide a remedy.

What I really object to is how they all the portraits feature blow dryed hair.
