The State Quarter program commenced in January
1999 and continued
through 2008 (although the program was extended into 2009
and 2010 and beyond.)
The table below lists the business-strike State
Quarter
release dates,
listed state-by-state with the oldest issues starting at top. The
issuance sequence was set according to the order in which the states
ratified the Constitution or were admitted to the Union.
In late 2007, Congress authorized for 2009 quarters
honoring the District
of Columbia
and the five U.S. territories: the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, Guam,
American
Samoa,
the United
States Virgin Islands,
and the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands .
In 2010, a new quarter program launched. The
Mint is issuing
coins featuring national parks and other national sites. Approximately
every 10 weeks, a new design emblematic of a national site is to be
depicted on the reverse of the quarter. The sites chosen for depiction
will come from each of 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and all
five U.S. territories. In all, 56 reverses are to be featured. As with
the State Quarters, the familiar image of George Washington remains on
the front.
If you're interested in keeping track of the release dates of the new
quarters in 2009 and beyond, watch the Mint's "Product Availability" page, and click the
"Upcoming Products" link. This is where you can preview U.S. Mint
products soon to be available and take note of their announced release
dates. Speaking of the Mint... now there's a place bustling with
activity these days, perhaps more so at present than at any other time
since 1792, the
first year the Mint opened its doors to serve the people of the
United States.
