Iowa State Quarter
Product Details
The Iowa quarter was the fourth quarter released in 2004. On December 28, 1846, Iowa became the 29th state to be admitted into the Union.
The Iowa quarter design features a one-room schoolhouse with a teacher and students planting a tree, and the inscriptions "Foundation in Education" and "Grant Wood." The design is based on "Arbor Day," a painting by Grant Wood, who was born near Anamosa, Iowa. He spent his career as a proponent of small-town values, which he celebrated in the iconic images of small-town plain folk and verdant Midwestern vistas for which he is world-renowned.

Summary: no one will know what this is forMarch 24th, 2008
I read the description of the coin and understand the concept, but for 99% of all other Americans who look at the coin, they will wonder why an old house is on the coin. Is it just me?
