Hawaii State Quarter
Product Details
The fifth and final quarter-dollar coin released in 2008 honors the State of Hawaii, which was the last state admitted to the Union. Nicknamed "The Aloha State," Hawaii became a state on August 21st, 1959. The release of this quarter originally was to mark the end of the state quarters but a recent change added some additional US territories which will extend the program into 2009
The reverse of Hawaii’s quarter features Hawaiian monarch King Kamehameha I stretching his hand toward the eight major Hawaiian Islands. Inscriptions are the state motto "UA MAU KE EA O KA ‘AINA I KA PONO" ("The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness"), "Hawaii" and "1959."

Summary: Could use moreMarch 24th, 2008
I think the design could have used more such as volcanoes or and/or palm trees. I like the outline of the islands but there is just too much space and the coin will show too many nicks in circulation.
