Hawaiian quarter
I just got my first Hawai'i state quarter today. It has King Kamehameha and this: "Ua mau ke ea oka aina I ko pono". Is this the state motto? Or does it translate to "No Tom Selleck - No Movie!" ????

I, too, have been saving the "new" quarters. My Dad got me started. He had a deal with the gal at his bank and she saved him enough for both of us every time a new one came out. So I'm on my own since he died.
It's interesting that sometimes a state is all over the place and sometimes they're very hard to find. Hawaii is an example of one that's been hard for me to find. In fact, I haven't found a single one. Thought I'd stumbled on a bunch of Hawaiis one day when I got several new quarters in my change at the grocery store but...it was Washington DC! I didn't know they were going to do a Washington DC. And there's no place for a Washington DC in any of my books.
I also made a mistake when I bought my books...they have a place for both the Denver minted quarters and the Philadelphia minted quarters. Need I say that my books are pretty much half empty? I picked up a few Philadelphia mints on a trip to New Orleans several years ago but we just don't see them out here.
Funny story...I was at a store and the young man at the counter gave me a "new" quarter in my change. I have eight sets going so when that happens, I always ask if I can buy a couple of bucks worth of whatever state is newly released. He rummaged around in his drawer and then said, "Sorry. That was my last one. All I have is "un-quarters"." "Un-quarters?" I asked. "Yeah, the old ones." he said.
I felt a little sorry for the quarters that have served us so well for so many years.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
GREAT translation, Frodoleader! I wonder how you say "No Tom Selleck - No Movie" in Hawaiian? It could be OUR motto!! Maybe we could have coins made...with Tom Selleck on the front and...hmmmm...what on the back? The Ferrari? TC's chopper? James's avatar?
