Massachusetts State Quarter
Year of issue: 2000
The Massachusetts State Quarter is the sixth coin in the 50 State Quarters Program. The U.S. Mint released it on January 3, 2000 as the first quarter of the year. The quarter design shows the a minuteman soldier. During the Revolutionary War, many citizens were called to fight at a minute’s notice, earning the name “minutemen.”
The obverse (heads) design shows the familiar portrait of George Washington used on the quarter since 1932. But the inscriptions previously used on the reverse – "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "QUARTER DOLLAR", "LIBERTY", and "IN GOD WE TRUST" – all appear on the obverse in order to accommodate the state designs.
