2008 42¢ Flags of Our Nation
This Flags of Our Nation Coin Cover features the Indiana stamp from the Flags of Our Nation Series, two uncirculated state quarters, and a cachet, or picture, that reflects the history of the state.
Indiana is home to the world’s oldest and most famous racetrack, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The first Indy 500 race, held in 1911, drew 80,000 spectators. Its winner, Ray Harroun, averaged 74 miles per hour. Today, the track can hold up to 400,000 people and Indy racers can reach speeds up to 220 miles per hour. Drivers experience the same G-force in the turns as the space shuttle on liftoff. The original track was made from over three million bricks. Today, all but a 36-inch strip of bricks at the start/finish line has been covered in asphalt. A distinctive Indy race car is featured on the Indiana State Quarter.
The first log home in Indianapolis, Indiana, built around 1820, is shown on this cover’s historic hand-colored woodcut cachet. Centrally located, the site was chosen the following year for the state capital. Alexander Ralston, who had helped Pierre L’Enfant plan Washington, D.C., was chosen to design the city. He gave Indianapolis a central circle area for a proposed governor’s mansion. The rest of the city was divided into a grid of evenly spaced streets.
A modern tractor on the Indiana Flags of Our Nation stamp symbolizes its place among the top five U.S. agricultural states. Typically, almost half the state’s farmland is planted in corn, but it also produces other vegetables, grains, poultry, and livestock.
