Trivia question.

I saw my first Kansas quarter last night. Something about it struck me. I did a little checking, and it shares this characteristic with only two other quarters thus far released in the state quarter program. What characteristic did I notice?

Are the other two both from the 2003 set?

[totient]

I found a fun characteristic which it shares with Arkansas and Maine.

Which is clearly the same characteristic that cnoocy found.

And is indeed the one I had in mind.

I'm gonna guess the depiction of two official state symbols, or possibly the depiction of official state symbols and nothing else.

[totient]

That's not quite how I'd have phrased it...

[saxikath]

Not precisely what I had in mind, though close.

The warning text, "The theory that this coin was produced in a mint is not fully substantiated, and should be treated with skepticism"?

"This coin is made from natural metals. Some variation in color and texture is therefore expected and does not constitute a manufacturing defect. Enjoy your coin's natural beauty."

My coworkers were suggesting the design needed a giant hand coming down to the bison.

Or a foot.

I want to see a Kansas quarter! (having been born there and all...)

Does it have a sunflower on it?

Yes, it has 3 small sunflowers next to a bison.
