  IDAHO CHOOSES STATE QUARTER DESIGN BY DONNA WEAVER
  

  According to a September 18 news report, "Governor Jim Risch and
  State Treasurer Ron Crane hosted an unveiling of the new Idaho State
  quarter design today, which is to enter circulation in 2007."
  

  "The U.S. Mint developed three candidate designs that were developed
  from the five original narrative concepts provided by the Governor
  in late September 2005. Former Governor Kempthorne then selected the
  final design that was approved by the Secretary of the Treasury in
  late June 2006."
  

  "Along with the image of the Perrigrine Falcon, the other two final
  designs were a farmland tapestry, and an image depicting Idaho's
  state song with the first two lines written out within the design.
  The decision to move forward with the Peregrine Falcon was made by
  Governor Kempthorne shortly before he left office to take the position
  of US Secretary of the Interior in May.
  

  The Idaho quarter was designed by retired United States Mint
  sculptor-engraver Donna Weaver and sculpted by United States Mint
  sculptor-engraver Don Everhart."
