Colorized State Quarters
Colorized state quarters are uncirculated coins that are US-minted for each US state. These are coins that can add a new dimension to coin collection. You can also start a new set of collectibles with only colorized state quarters. These are commemorative quarters with unique designs that honor the history, tradition as well as the symbols that depict each of the fifty states of the US. The designs on the reverse of the quarter are usually done by a state resident and approved by the state government. Five designs were released per year and the complete set for all of the fifty states came out from 1999 to 2008. There are almost thirty five billion colorized state quarters that have been released.
