Governor suggest OKC memorial for coin

Associated Press - April 2, 2009 4:15 PM ET

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Brad Henry has
selected the Oklahoma City National Memorial as
the image to appear on a special quarter to be
issued by the U.S. Mint next year.

The mint will produce quarters next year for each
of the states, the District of Columbia and the
U.S. territories.

Governors are asked to recommend an appropriate
site in their jurisdiction for representation on
the quarter.

The U.S. Treasury will make the final decision on
designs, which are expected to be announced later
this month.

The memorial is on the site of the Alfred P. Murrah
Federal Building, which was bombed on April 19, 1995,
killing 168 people and injuring more than 500 others
in the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S.
history.
