Quote:It might be worth pointing out that the twenty cent coin designs were done by school students who entered (and won) a competition.The school kids (see above) all received a special presentation certificate from the Mint and their schools -who had to sponsor their entry- received a cash payment. Seems a little unfair to me (I bet the school kids would have liked the money) but...they all have their initials on the coins so they are up there with SD and IRB. That is serious bragging rights.
