Statehood Quarter

Beginning in 1999, the United States Mint began the Statehood Quarter program. A program of United States Commemorative Coins.

Approximately every 10 weeks, since 1999 and until 2008, a new statehood quarter has been released by the United States Mint. Each quarter's reverse celebrates one of the 50 states with a design honoring its unique history, traditions, and symbols. The quarters are released in the same order that the states joined the union.
