2021 new quarters
Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2020 4:18 pm
19th Amendment quarter dollars
The quarter dollars in the proposed program would follow in the tradition of the State quarters program of 1999 to 2008, the District of Columbia and Territories series of 2009, and the America the Beautiful quarters program of 2010 to 2021. It would also mean that the planned 2021 Washington quarter dollar with a new reverse of Washington Crossing the Delaware, intended as the new permanent design, could be a one-year issue.
According to U.S. Mint spokeswoman Carolyn Fields, “The bill amended by the Senate only added some financial assurance language. It kept all of the elements that the House passed. ...”
These are the main programs sought by the bill:
➤ Up to five reverse designs annually for prominent American women on quarter dollars (2022 to 2025)
➤ Up to five reverse designs for quarter dollars celebrating the Semiquincentennial, with one of the designs to depict women. Additionally, all circulating coins (cent, 5-cent coin, dime, half dollar and dollar) will have a redesign of reverse and obverse for the 250th anniversary (2026).
➤ Up to five reverse designs of youth sports on quarter dollars and one reverse design of Paralympic sports on half dollar annually (2027 to 2030).
➤ Authorization to be able to design and strike the U.S. Olympic medals
