Note: The 50 State Quarters Program was a 10-year initiative (1999-2008) by the U.S. Mint to honor each of the 50 states with unique designs. The back of the Wisconsin quarter featured a cow, a wheel of cheese, and an ear of corn. A few rare quarters were misprinted with an extra leaf on the cornhusk and these coins have become valuable, some selling for more than $2,000.
TWENTY-FIVE
lord, if my mistakes could be reordered
so that instead of bringing so much grief
they could, like the extra high leaf
on the back of some Wisconsin quarters,
turn a 25-cent account into
ten thousand times that amount,
I would fall to my knees, on my face,
beside the gifts of cheese and cow,
and thank You for such grace.
