Description:

This set of five U S West telecards titled "Changing The Shape of Money: States," features original artwork by Yan Nascimbene. Each $5 telecard illustrates a distinct outdoor activity linked to a specific U.S. state, showcasing vibrant artistic designs with a consistent color palette and style. The cards prominently display the U S West logo in the upper right corner, the state name in yellow text at the upper left, and the phrases "CHANGING THE SHAPE OF MONEY™" and "TELECARD" in yellow on a black strip along the bottom edge of each card.

The Arizona telecard depicts two people white-water rafting through a rocky canyon with rushing rapids. The artwork highlights the dramatic cliffs and turbulent water in warm earth tones, emphasizing the rugged landscape of Arizona. The Colorado telecard shows skiers on a snowy mountain slope, with a central snow-capped peak and several bright clouds in the blue sky. Skiers dressed in red, pink, and purple add motion and life to the winter scene.

Minnesota’s telecard features an ice hockey scene on a frozen pond, with four players wearing colorful winter attire, including a red hat and a white helmet. The landscape includes snow-covered trees and a pale blue sky. Oregon is represented by windsurfing on a wide, calm river or lake set between green hills. Several windsurfers with colorful sails create an active watersport atmosphere under a clear blue sky.

The Washington telecard shows a sailboat named "ORCA" gliding on blue water with Mount Rainier towering in the background. The mountain’s snowy peaks contrast with the green hills and distant city skyline beneath a soft, partly cloudy sky. Each card integrates a chip element on the left side, confirming its function as a telecard, and the $5 value is printed clearly in red in the lower right corner.

Together, these telecards celebrate iconic outdoor recreational activities tied to each state through Yan Nascimbene’s artistic interpretation, packaged as collectible telecommunications payment cards from U S West.
