The 2009 quarter program honored the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories after the 50 State sequence ended.

All six designs were issued in 2009 in circulation and collector formats. They are an extension, not additional state quarters.

Six jurisdictions enter the quarter map

Congress extended the rotating-quarter idea for one year to include the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

The result is a self-contained six-design set bridging the 50 State program and America the Beautiful.

Obverse, reverse, and the details that identify the type

Confirm the major design, date, and mint mark before studying smaller die differences.

The main portrait and date

The modified Washington obverse from the State Quarters era continues unchanged through all six designs.

Denomination, subject, and mint mark

Each jurisdiction uses a local historical, cultural, or geographic subject with its name and the year 2009.

Where the cataloged coins were made

Totals are calculated from reported issue records in this catalog; unknown figures are not counted as zero.
