Missouri’s quarter comes out today – the one that has stirred so much controversy that the mint has changed the way it runs its state quarter competition. The formal unveiling will take place next Sunday at the State Fair. Columbia artist Paul Jackson has raised such a ruckus about the mint’s change of his design that the mint now no longer accepts designs from states geting later-issued quarters. It now takes only written descriptions of the design. You can only get it by phone or Internet orders. They won’t be in general circulation for a couple of weeks.
