COUNTRY STARS ROLL OUT NEW TENNESSEE COIN
Citizens of the Volunteer State have had a chance to see the Mint's new 25-cent piece with a Tennessee motif on the back.
In what the Nashville Tennessean jokingly calls a "Two-Bit Celebration," members of the country music industry were on hand Monday in Nashville for the unveiling of the coin -- part of a national series in which all states will be honored, in the order of their addition to the Union. Tennessee was the 16th state to join.
Among those on hand at the Country Music Hall of Fame were Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart and Ruby Wilson. The nation's treasurer, Rosario Marin, was also there, as was entertainer Isaac Hayes.
