How many state quarters are there?

Fifty. The 50 State Quarters Program ran from 1999 to 2008, with five new designs a year in the order the states joined the Union. Add the six 2009 quarters for DC and the five territories, a separate program, and the total is 56.

How many America the Beautiful quarters are there?

Fifty-six, issued five a year from 2010 through 2021. Each honors a national park or other national site in a state, the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory, starting with Hot Springs, Arkansas, and ending with Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, Alabama.

How many American Women Quarters are there?

Twenty designs, five a year from 2022 to 2025, from Maya Angelou to Althea Gibson. Counting Philadelphia and Denver versions makes 40 circulation coins, and with the San Francisco uncirculated, clad proof and silver proof versions a complete set is 100 coins.

Is there a quarter dated 1975?

No. Quarters struck in 1975 and 1976 carry the Bicentennial reverse with the dual date 1776 and 1976, so no quarter bears the date 1975. The Mint says a 1975 strike cannot be told apart from a 1976 one.

How many quarter designs will there be in 2027?

Up to five, under the law that set up the youth sports program for 2027 to 2030. The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee has reviewed five sports for 2027, but those are recommendations; the Mint has not announced the final designs.

How Many Different Quarters Are There Since 1932?

How many different quarters are there: old and new quarters spilling from a glass jar onto a wooden table

Counting reverse designs, there have been 140 different circulating quarters since George Washington first appeared on the coin in 1932, through the five 2026 designs. That is the short answer to how many different quarters are there. Up to 20 more are authorized for 2027 to 2030, and the count grows again if you separate mint marks, obverses or proof versions.

The number is easy to check because almost all of it comes from programs with fixed sizes. Here is each one, with the running total, followed by the ways collectors count differently.

How many different quarters are there, program by program

Program	Dates	Reverse designs	Running total
Heraldic eagle (John Flanagan)	Dated 1932 to 1974 and 1977 to 1998	1	1
Bicentennial colonial drummer	Struck 1975 and 1976, dual-dated	1	2
50 State Quarters	1999 to 2008	50	52
District of Columbia and U.S. Territories	2009	6	58
America the Beautiful	2010 to 2021	56	114
General George Washington Crossing the Delaware	2021	1	115
American Women Quarters	2022 to 2025	20	135
Semiquincentennial (America 250)	2026	5	140
Youth sports (authorized)	2027 to 2030	Up to 5 a year	Up to 160

Before 1932 the quarter showed Liberty rather than Washington, and those earlier series are a separate subject. This count starts with the Washington quarter because that is what people find in change.

A design here means a distinct reverse. A change of metal, mint mark, finish or privy mark does not create a new design, and neither does a mint error or a die variety. Those matter to collectors and change the size of a set, but they are counted separately, as the last section shows.

The early quarter series: one eagle and one drummer

For its first 43 years the Washington quarter had a single reverse. The Mint's quarter history describes it as an eagle with wings spread, standing on a bundle of arrows, with olive branches beneath. The composition changed in 1965, when silver was removed and the coin became copper-nickel clad, but the design did not.

The one break was the Bicentennial quarter, with a colonial drummer and a victory torch circled by 13 stars. Coins struck in 1975 and 1976 all carry the dual date 1776 and 1976, so the Mint itself says it is impossible to tell a 1975 strike from a 1976 one. There are no quarters dated 1975.

US quarter designs since 1999

Everything after 1998 is a program with a planned number of designs, which is why the count is exact.

50 State Quarters, 1999 to 2008: 50 designs

The Mint issued five new state quarters a year for ten years, in the order the states ratified the Constitution or joined the Union, from Delaware to Hawaii. The Mint calls it the most successful coin initiative in U.S. history and says it issued more than 34 billion quarters over the decade.

DC and U.S. Territories, 2009: 6 designs

In 2009 the Mint issued six quarters for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. This one-year series is the easiest to forget when people count.

America the Beautiful, 2010 to 2021: 56 designs

From 2010 through 2021 the Mint issued 56 quarters, five a year, each honoring a national park or other national site in a state, DC or a territory. It began with Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas and ended with the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama.

Crossing the Delaware, 2021: 1 design

Also in 2021 the Mint issued the General George Washington Crossing the Delaware quarter, showing Washington leading his troops across the ice-choked river before the Battle of Trenton. Benjamin Sowards designed the reverse. It is a one-design issue, so 2021 has two different quarter reverses: Tuskegee and the crossing.

The US quarter series from 2022 to 2030

The American Women Quarters added 20 designs, five a year from 2022 to 2025, honoring women from Maya Angelou to Althea Gibson. The quarter with a woman on the back page shows all 20, and our mintage table lists how many of each were struck.

In 2026 came five semiquincentennial designs, from the Mayflower Compact to the Gettysburg Address, covered in our post on the America 250 quarters. The limited July 4th Declaration quarters carry a privy mark on an existing design, so they are a variety, not a new design.

From 2027 the law calls for reverses emblematic of youth sports, up to five new designs a year through the end of 2030. The Mint's youth sports program page confirms the four-year program. The sports published so far are Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee recommendations, not final choices, so the 2027 to 2030 count could end up below 20.

All quarter designs counted another way: the obverse

The heads side changes far less often. Counting portraits rather than reverses gives a much smaller number:

1932 to 2021: John Flanagan's left-facing Washington. On the 1999 to 2021 state, territory and park quarters the inscriptions were rearranged and the date moved to the reverse; the 2021 Crossing the Delaware coin returned to the pre-1999 layout.
2022 to 2025: Laura Gardin Fraser's right-facing Washington, the common obverse of all 20 American Women Quarters.
2026: five separate obverses, only one of them Washington.
2027 to 2030: a new Washington portrait, required by law to be distinguishable from the previous program's.

Our page on who is on the quarter covers each obverse and the law behind it.

Which quarter designs you can still find in change

Nearly all 140 can still turn up in a bank roll. Every quarter dated 1965 or later is copper-nickel clad and legal tender, so a $10 roll can hold anything from a 1970s eagle to a 2026 Gettysburg Address coin. Quarters dated 1964 and earlier contain silver, which makes them worth more than face value for their metal alone.

The state and park designs dominate what you will see. The Mint says it issued more than 34 billion quarters during the 50 State Quarters decade, against 8,024,800,000 American Women Quarters over four years. That difference shows up in any handful of change.

Within the women quarters, the hardest design to pull from circulation is the 2025 Dr. Vera Rubin quarter, at 118,800,000 struck, the lowest of the 20. Our American Women Quarters key date page explains why that is still not a valuable coin. The practical approach is to collect one program at a time, in a folder laid out for it, rather than trying to fill 140 holes at once.

Counting by mint mark and finish

Collectors who want one of every coin, not one of every design, multiply the count. Most circulating designs since 1999 come in a Philadelphia (P) and a Denver (D) version, and San Francisco (S) strikes proofs and collector coins. In 2019 the Mint added two million each of the five 2019 America the Beautiful designs with a West Point W mint mark, the first circulating coins with that mark. W quarters appeared again in 2020. Those add mint marks, not designs.

For the American Women Quarters alone, 20 designs from P and D make 40 circulation coins. Add S uncirculated, clad proof and silver proof versions and a complete set reaches 100. Our American Women Quarters checklist is set up for either target, and if you are sorting a jar of 2022 coins, start with what 2022 quarters are worth.
