I was hoping that they wouldn't come up with a dismal design but expected that they would. Unfortunately, I was right. It is very boring and hard to see clearly on the quarter. Why couldn't they have selected a roadrunner, a yucca or even a simple yet classy full size zia. Heck - I was secretly pulling for a mushroom cloud! After all, one of New Mexico's most notable and historic events was being the site of the first nuclear weapon test - and it certainly would have been an attention-getter!
