THE STATE QUARTER PROGRAM The 50 State Quarters program is the release of a series of commemorative coins by the United States Mint. Between 1999 and 2008 (the anticipated completion date), it features each of the 50 individual U.S. states on unique designs for the reverse of the quarter. During the program, a new statehood quarter is released by the United States Mint every "quintile," or 1/5th of a year (73 days); five designs are released each year. Each quarter's reverse celebrates one of the 50 states with a design honoring its unique history, traditions and symbols, usually designed by a resident of that state and chosen by the state government. The quarters are released in the same order that the states joined the Union. The obverse of each quarter is the same, but is a redesign of the previous design of the quarter. The statehood quarters program has become one of the most popular commemorative coin programs in United States history; the United States Mint has estimated that over one hundred million individuals have collected state quarters, either formally or informally.
