50 State Quarters


The 50 State Quarters Program was a breath of fresh air for the hobby of coin collecting. It reintroduced millions of Americans to the practice of assembling a diverse and educational collection of coins from circulation. The United States Mint has estimated that as many as 147 million Americans have collected the series.

Delaware Quarter

The program was authorized under the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act, which provided for the redesign and issuance of a quarter dollar commemorative coin for each of the 50 States beginning in 1999. The states would be honored in the order they joined the union. The obverse of each coin would bear a redesigned portrait of George Washington. The reverse would feature a design highlighting the diversity and unique characteristics of each state.

State Quarters Legacy


Over 10 years, all 50 States were honored starting with Delaware and ending with Hawaii. More than 34 billion quarters were produced during the course of the series. The 50 State Quarters were labeled as "the most successful coin initiative in U.S. history."

The success of the State Quarters Program paved the way for other the redesign of other denominations, with a rotating design concept. This included the Westward Journey Jefferson Nickels, Presidential Dollars, and the 2009 Lincoln Cents.The concept will continue for the twenty five cent denomination with the District of Columbia and United States Territories Quarters Program and American the Beautiful Quarters.
