Appropriate designs include state landmarks, landscapes, historic buildings, symbols of state resources or industries, state flora and fauna, state icons, or outlines of the state. Inappropriate designs include the state flag, state seal, head-and-shoulders portrait or busts, or symbols that are likely to offend, etc. Submissions may be sent online at www.hawaii.gov/ gov/commemorativequarter, by fax at 586-2370, or by mail to HCQAC, P.O.
