Hawaii Stamps and Quarter

Aloha Kakou:

Now that it's just about to draw to a close, the US Mint's State Quarter program is preparing to release the Hawaii state quarter. The Mint has released five quarters a year for each of the past ten years. Since Hawaii is the 50th state, we are the final coin in the series. The quarter features King Kamehameha ("the conqueror of the Islands", as the the old song goes) along with a map of the state and the state motto "the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness".

On September 2, the United States Post Office will issue it's second in a series of flag stamps. This second series includes a stamp with the Hawaii state flag and a lehua flower over a profile of the islands. The Hawaii flag stamp will be sold in a set with nine other state flag stamps.

Information on both the quarter and the stamp can be found by following these links:
