State Quarter Won’t Carry Gaming Images
- Share via
Slot machines, playing cards and even the famed Las Vegas skyline won’t be on Nevada’s quarter, much to the disappointment of state officials.
State Treasurer Brian Krolicki said that federal officials prohibited the use of gambling images on the five themes his office submitted to the U.S. Mint for the quarter that will go into circulation in January 2006.
The Las Vegas skyline was ruled out because it would show commercial gaming businesses.
Despite the presence of legal gambling in 48 states, Krolicki said some people might be offended by a gambling design.
