P212 U.S. State Quarters
The 50 State Quarters Program was started to support a new
generation of coin collectors. President George Washington
is shown on the face of each quarter, but the reverse
commemorates one of the 50 states with a design representing
its unique history, traditions, or symbols. The quarters
were released by the United States Mint every ten weeks, or
five each year, beginning in 1999. They were released in the
same order that the states ratified the Constitution. In
2009, the U.S. Mint began issuing quarters commemorating the
District of Columbia and the U.S. Territories. Although
authorized by a different legislative act, these quarters
are often seen as an extension of the 50 State Quarters
program. The poster shows both sets.
The U.S. State Quarters became the most successful numismatic
program in history. The U.S. Mint states that roughly half
of the U.S. population collects the coins either casually or
seriously The U.S. federal government has realized profits
of over $3 billion from collectors taking the coins out of
circulation. |
