The United States Mint 50 States Quarter Program


The United States Mint is responsible for issuing the official coins for the United States of America. In January 1999, it began a 10-year celebration of the 50 American States. A series of five quarter dollars with new reverses will be issued each year from 1999 through 2008, celebrating each of the 50 states. The coins will be issued in the sequence in which the states became part of the union.
