History

The 50 State Quarters Program was introduced in 1999, under the legislative authority of Congress. The program was designed to honor each state in the order of their ratification of the US Constitution, or the year they were admitted into the Union. Each state would decide what unique aspect about their state they wished to feature on their new quarter. The process was usually headed by each state Governor's office, and also include input from their citizens.

The Program was scheduled to run for 10 years, releasing a new state quarter on approximately a ten-week cycle (5 per year). The first state quarter released was Delaware, proudly displaying the banner year of 1787, as the first state admitted to the Union. The final release in 2008 was Hawaii, under the banner of 1959.

The 50 State Quarters Program was very favorably received by the public. People of all ages and from every state have been drawn into coin collecting, many for the first time. Although state pride was a real driving factor, offerings of 5-coin sets encouraged collectors to build complete sets. This is particularly true regarding the 90% Silver Proof coins. Enthusiastic collectors and investors continue to seek out Proof sets, individual coins, and full 40-coin rolls.
