Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 The State of Nebraska can be added to locations which feature oxen on their currency The second commemorative quarter-dollar coin released in 2006 honors Nebraska, and is the 37th coin in the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters® Program. Nebraska, nicknamed the "Cornhusker State," was admitted into the Union on March 1, 1867, becoming our Nation's 37th state. Nebraska's quarter depicts an ox-drawn covered wagon carrying pioneers in the foreground and Chimney Rock, the natural wonder that rises from the valley of North Platte River, measuring 445 feet from base to tip. The sun is in full view behind the wagon. The coin also bears the inscriptions "Nebraska,Chimney Rock" and "1867." http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_program/states/index.cfm?flash=yes&sta te=NE <http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_program/states/index.cfm?flash=yes&st ate=NE> The only other examples I know of are in Rwanda 100 franc http://www.datos.notafilia.com/colecciones/images/billetes/rwanda/rwa029_f.jpg 1000 franc http://www.datos.notafilia.com/colecciones/images/billetes/rwanda/rwa027_t.jpg ys hidd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
