Maybe a basket of fruits and nuts?

[widowithfoursons]

This is too tempting. Let's go with a pink sombrero.

[snopercod]

I'm thinking of Lady Liberty bent over, and Gray Davis standing immediately behind her with an evil leer on his face.

A replica of the Emerald Castle from the Wizard of Oz under a red star with a profile of Barbra Streisand superimposed. The quarter would have to be oblong, though.

Two bits ping. : )

Ping your FRiends. Wouldn't it be great if a FReeper could win? : )

[from occupied ga]

A nice hammer and sickle one one side to represent the redistributive policies of the Kalifornia government, and a swastika on the other to represent the intrusive nature of the government

[Glenn]

A map of Mexico seems appropriate.

- A picture of a cigarette inside of a red circle with a diagonal slash through it.
- An image of Chairman Mao.
- Two addicts in a park shooting up.
- An image of two women or two men holding hands.
- A grown man fondling a young boy.
- An SUV inside a red circle with a diagonal slash through it.
- The Mexican flag.

It must proudly show the flag of Mexico and all words stamped into the coin should be in Spanish. Remove the likeness of Washington and use that of Vicente Fox. How about also including an LA street gang engaged in a gun battle?

Two dimes and a nickel taped together....er....better make that one dime, one nickel and ten pennies taped together just to show some diversity.

[GaltMeister]

Hows about a welfare crack baby sucking on a tired looking Lady Liberty?

[Diogenesis]

BUMP.

Best laugh of the entire day.

[FLAMING DEATH]

Just paint the back of the quarter flat black.

Some ideas (some borrowed from what was already up; thanks for them):

• A picture of the Goddess of Liberty statue in Tiannamen Square being run over by the PLA
• The Soviet Red Star, and a portrait of Karl Marx substituted for that of George Washington to honor the Russians that made it down to Kalifornica
• A picture of a typical mudslide or Santa Ana wind-fed brush fire
• Substitue "La Cucaracha" for "E Pluribus Unum"
• Instead of "In God We Trust", have "In Mao We Trust"
• <Comment removed>
• A group photo of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

Feeling bored, I ranked the current state quarters in order of esthetic appeal:

New Jersey
Connecticut
Rhode Island
Virginia
Mississippi
Tennessee
North Carolina
New York
Maryland
Georgia
Vermont
Delaware
Louisiana
South Carolina
Indiana
Ohio
New Hampshire
Kentucky
Pennsylvania
Massachussetts

[Frohickey]

I have a great idea.

Put a picture of Ronald Reagan on the back side, and the California quarter will be the ONLY coin that has two heads.

[Plutarch]

There is hope for California. Look here, isn't that man on the MA coin holding an assault rifle?

[ChadGore]
