There are five proposed designs for the quarter, which will be produced by the U.S. Mint as part of the 50 State Quarters Program. Oklahoma's coin would be released in 2008. Advertisement Four of the proposed designs feature Pioneer Woman and the other features the scissortail flycatcher, the state bird, the Daily Oklahoman reported Friday. But, some Oklahomans, including Gov. Brad Henry, want the Pioneer Woman to be holding her Bible on the quarter. A spokesman said that if a Pioneer Woman design is selected then Henry "will be in touch" with the U.S. Mint requesting the Bible be placed in her right hand as depicted in the 17-foot bronze statue in Ponca City, Okla., a spokesman said. "We would definitely communicate to them that here's what Oklahomans have chosen and we've gotten these concerns from residents about the omission of the Bible," Paul Sund, a Henry spokesman, told the newspaper. "We can definitely make that clear." Advertisement
