Appalachian Trail may go on Vt.'s 25-cent pieces

Associated Press - March 14, 2009 10:25 AM ET

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Gov. Jim Douglas has nominated
Vermont's 150-mile stretch of Appalachian Trail for
inclusion on a new set of Vermont quarters.

Under the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter
Dollar Coin Act of 2008, each state's governor must
recommend a national site or park for the coins.
The U.S. Treasury's secretary has final say.

Alternate possibilities submitted by Douglas include
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park, in
Woodstock, and the Missisquoi National Wildlife
Refuge, in Franklin County.

Next year, the U.S. Mint will issue new 25-cent
pieces every 10 weeks.

Either NC or VA *MUST* use the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Howabout the Lynn Cove Viaduct on the NC version?

(just my opinion)

Could be a potentially lucrative job for our resident "elongator".
