A new survey shows that Americans don't like Idaho's state quarter. The website www.walletpop.com asked their online readers to vote for their favorite and least favorite state quarter.

Idaho's quarter came dead last.

The coin features a peregrine falcon over a small state map. Back in 2006, the quarter received a lot of negative reaction when then Governor Dirk Kempthorne picked the design.

Many residents wanted the Sawtooth Mountains or even a potato featured on the quarter.

Which quarter was the favorite? Alaska is the winner, featuring a grizzly bear with a salmon in its mouth.

So what do you think of Idaho's quarter and do you agree with the survey? Sign up and leave a comment below this story.
