The Dime US Coins |
The quarter (also called a quarter dollar) is a US coin worth twenty five cents. Four quarters make a dollar. One quarter can be written 25¢ or $0.25.
Quarters are made out of an alloy (a mixture of metals) of 91.67 percent copper and 8.33 percent nickel (before 1965, the quarter was made out of silver). The quarter has a edge with 119 ridges. This coin is 24.26 mm in diameter and is 1.75 mm thick.
The George Washington quarter has been minted since 1932, when it replaced the Liberty quarter.
In 1999, the US Mint began producing a series of 50 state quarters, honoring each state's history, traditions, and symbols; the series will be complete in 2008 (five new state quarters are made each year -- Delaware was the first and Hawaii will be the last). George Washington is on the front (obverse) of the state quarters, and the individual states will be featured on the reverse. The quarters are issued in the order that the states joined the Union.
QUARTERS IN CIRCULATION:
The front (obverse) of the quarter pictures a left-facing profile of George Washington, the first President of the United States of America. This coin was minted in 1932; it was designed by John Flannagan. The front reads, "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year the coin was minted. The small initial by Washington is the mint mark, denoting the location of the US mint that produced the coin (D means Denver, Colorado, S means San Francisco, California, and P means Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). |
 The back (reverse) of the quarter pictures the presidential coat of arms (an eagle with outstretched wings). The back reads, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (which means, "Out of many, one"), and "QUARTER DOLLAR." |
