Čtvrtdolar 50 amerických států

Programem 50 State Quarters byla mincovnou Spojených států vydána série oběžných pamětních mincí. V letech 1999 až 2008 byly představeny všechny z 50 států USA s unikátními vzory na rubu čtvrtdolarové mince.

Program 50 State Quarters byl zahájen jako podpora nové generace sběratelů mincí,[1][2] a stal se nejúspěšnějším numismatickým programem v historii, kdy zhruba polovina populace spojených států sbírala tyto mince buď náhodně nebo s vážným zájmem.[3] Americká federální vláda tak vytvořila dodatečný zisk 3 miliardy dolarů od sběratelů vyjmutím mincí z oběhu.[4]

State Quarters Program

Líc pamětních "čtvrťáků" kvality proof.

Padesát státních čtvrťáků bylo vydáváno mincovnou Spojených států vždy pro pět států každý rok. Byly vydávány v tom samém pořadí, jak jednotlivé státy ratifikovaly Ústavu Spojených států. Každý z padesáti pamětních čtvrťáků má na lícní straně portrét prvního presidenta George Washingtona a na rubu mince je zobrazení jedinečné historie každého státu, jeho tradic a symbolů. Zamítnuto bylo zobrazování určitých elementů jako státních vlajek, žijících osob a portréty (hlava a poprsí) osob zemřelých.

V roce 2009 začala mincovna Spojených států vydávat sérii District of Columbia and United States Territories Quarters, kde jsou představeny District of Columbia, Portoriko, Americká Samoa, Guam, Americké Panenské ostrovy a Mariany.[5]
