The
Independent Bankers of Colorado have designed four coins at a $20 to
distribute to the Colorado General Assembly on your behalf. The coins
are printed as 7” diameter circles with quick facts about community
banking on the back of each coin. Likewise, the $20 is printed on 4" x
9.5" card stock. During the
legislative session, either a coin or the $20 will be placed on each
legislator’s
desk.
To view the coins and $20, please click

buttons below. If you would like to learn more about
the four coins or $20, or to have some printed for your organization,
