50 State Quarters Program

The 50 State Quarters Program was a U.S. initiative from 1999 to 2008 that issued a series of quarter-dollar coins, each featuring a design representing one of the 50 states. The goal was to celebrate each state's unique history, culture, and symbols, with new designs released in alphabetical order over ten years. These quarters became popular collectible items, encouraging public interest and state pride while also providing a collectible historical record on circulating currency.
