I agree that it should list no groups. I think that it should be a design 
that represents the state and not the geocachers in the state. Will your 
artist do it for free or do they require coins as payment? I would like to 
see a contest and have several enter their coins that best represent the 
State. Perhaps we could have Jeff City judge and choose the coin. That would 
be cool!
