Good Lord, the power of the wild guess is demonstrated! "Mitten State" was the only one I was reasonably sure of, as I'd heard something similar from a Michiganite.
Following a multi-part US question with a relatively straightforward New Zealand one:
Some years ago, New Zealand's bank notes were redesigned, and eminent New Zealanders replaced the Queen on all but the $20 note. The People Who Decide Such Things (TPWDST) called for public input on who should grace the notes. The overwhelming favourite was Sir Edmund Hillary. But TPWDST were very reluctant to put Sir Ed on a bank note. Only overwhelming public pressure saw them yield, and Sir Ed duly appears on the $5 note.
Why were TPWDST not keen on the idea?
