Paiute petroglyphs are the focus of the latest release in the Native America the Beautiful Series, a coin release that also honors the state of Nevada. Paiute petroglyphs are typically found in rocky areas, such as cliffs, boulders, and canyon walls, throughout the Great Basin region. They were created using stone tools or sharp objects to remove or incise the rock surface, revealing the lighter-colored rock beneath.
