The United States coin worth 25 cents is called the quarter.
Here are some key facts about the US quarter:
- Obverse (Heads side): Features a portrait of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The current design (since 2022) shows him facing right, [according to the U.S. Mint Coin Classroom].
- Reverse (Tails side): The design changes often, [according to the U.S. Mint Coin Classroom].
– From 1932 to 1998, the reverse depicted an eagle with outstretched wings.
– In 1975 and 1976, a Bicentennial Quarter was issued with a temporary reverse design featuring a colonial drummer and a victory torch.
– From 1999 to 2008, the 50 State Quarters program featured designs representing each state.
– From 2010 to 2021, the America the Beautiful Quarters program depicted national parks and historic sites.
– Since 2022, the American Women Quarters program honors the accomplishments of notable American women, [according to the U.S. Mint Coin Classroom].
- Composition: Modern quarters (since 1965) are “clad,” meaning they have an inner core of pure copper covered by an outer layer of copper mixed with nickel. Before 1965, quarters were made of 90% silver.
- Nickname: The quarter is sometimes called “two bits,” a reference to the historical practice of dividing Spanish milled dollars into eight wedge-shaped segments.
