ARIZONA COINS ROLL OFF THE PRESS
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano and other state officials were in town Friday to stamp their state's first commemorative quarters. The coin is the third commemorative quarter issued by the Denver Mint this year and the 48th overall. The quarters are issued in order of statehood. The tails side of the coin shows a saguaro cactus in the foreground and the Grand Canyon. The images are joined by a banner with the date of Arizona's statehood - Feb. 14, 1912.
