This is a welcome present and I really like it. As you might know it's a program that honors the individual 50 states that comprise the United States through a series of circulating quarters being issued from 1999 - 2008. There are five reverse designs appearing each year for 10 years. State Quarter Designs
Design Guidelines
Designs shall maintain a dignity befitting the Nation's coinage.
Designs shall have broad appeal to the citizens of the state and avoid controversial subjects or symbols that are likely to offend.
Suitable subject matter for designs include state landmarks (natural and man-made), landscapes, historically significant buildings, symbols of state resources or industries, official state flora and fauna, state icons (e.g.. Texas Lone Star, Wyoming bronco, etc.), and outlines of the state.
State flags and state seals are not considered suitable for designs.
Consistent with the authorizing legislation, the states are encouraged to submit designs that promote the diffusion of knowledge among the youth of the United States about the state, its history and geography, and the rich diversity of our national heritage.
Priority consideration will be given to designs that are enduring representations of the state. Coins have a commercial life span of at least 30 years and are collected for generations.
Inappropriate design concepts include, but are not limited to logos or depictions of specific commercial, private, educational, civic, religious, sports, or other organizations whose membership or ownership is not universal.
The part I'm missing, obviously, is the 2008 quarters.
