I think you can tell a lot about a state by how it chooses to represent itself. I was pondering this recently when I tried to figure out what Idaho would put on its quarters. You'd immediately think potato, but for some reason that doesn't quite work like a Georgia Peach...
I also noticed that Michigan's quarters just have a map of Michigan on them. Come on Michigan, you couldn't think of ANYTHING? Even a picture of Kid Rock would have been better.
Also, while driving north this weekend I noticed that under the "Welcome to Delaware" sign it says, "Home of Tax Free Shopping." I have to admit that it's nice to know that should I be passing through Delaware and my car breaks down en route, I could buy a new car--and totally screw the government in the process (I assume that's what home of tax free shopping means....) But really, it doesn't make a very appealing motto for your state.
I noticed that New Jersey didn't have any motto under their sign...
