50 State Quarters Lesson Plan
 |
| US Mint |
Launched in 1999, the United States Mint 50 State Quarters Program is a 10-year coin initiative commemorating each of the nation’s states in the order that were admitted into the Union. Approximately every ten weeks (five times a year) through 2008, a new limitededition quarter that displays an individual state’s design is released into general circulation.
As it has every year since the beginning of this program, the United States Mint is offering the public three free sets of lesson plans (for grades K–1, 2–3, and 4–6). This year, we have added two new sets of free plans (for grades 7–8 and 9–12). All are designed to bring life to the history and beauty of our country. Moreover, these plans, created and reviewed by teachers to meet your curricular goals, draw upon the specific designs of the commemorative quarter reverses to help inspire students to learn about the culture, geography, and unique heritage of each state.
