State Quarter Release Dates

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.
