Georgia Quarters, 1999
The quarter's new Washington obverse design retains the familiar portrait of George Washington, with the inscriptions that are normally found on the quarter's reverse -- "United States of America," Liberty," "In God We Trust," and "Quarter Dollar." The revised obverse will be used on all 50 State Quarters in an attractive and balanced presentation. MINTSThe 50 State Quarters will be manufactured at both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, which produce all legal tender U.S. circulating coins, before being shipped to the Federal Reserve for distribution through the banking system. The Proof versions will be produced at the San Francisco Mint. The Mint projects production for each 50 States Quarter will range from 500 million to 750 million for each state reverse design.TERMINOLOGYCupro-Nickel Clad - Typically referred to as the combination of copper and nickel, the two metals now used in the minting process of Dimes, Quarters, Halves, and Dollars.

The Georgia Quarter is the fourth coin of the 50 State Quarters Program which will honor each of the 50 states in the order they entered the union. The design prominently features a Peach, a fruit long associated with the state, within the confines of a silhouette outline of the state. The central design is bordered in live oak sprigs, symbolic of the state tree. Draped across the top of the design is a banner bearing the state motto, "Wisdom, Justice, Moderation." The Eagle reverse will not be produced during the 10-year program and is scheduled to resume in 2009.
