50 State Quarters Program
In 1999, US began the 50 State Quarters Program where it will release a series of commemorative coins. Between 1999 and 2008, the US quarters will feature unique designs for each of the 50 states on the reverse of the quarter. This program got a tremendous response from the numismatists, with nearly half of the US population collecting these coins. The US Federal Government has made a profit of more than $3.8 billion so far from collectors taking the coins out of circulation ! So, what are you waiting for ?
