THE STATE QUARTER

Mississippi

The Mississippi State Quarter is the 20th quarter released in the U.S. Mint's 50 State QuartersTM Program and the fifth, and last, to be released in 2002.

This stately design is one of our favorites.

The strongly directed message depicts beautiful magnolia blossoms, and all that they represent, along with a Mississippi state nickname, the Magnolia State. If you've never been fortunate enough to languish in the scent of the magnolia blossom, make a point to correct this. 1817 is the date that Mississippi was admitted to the union.
