California State Quarter

On March 29, 2004, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his selection of the John Muir- Yosemite design to represent the Golden State in the U.S. Mint's 50 State Quarters® Program. The design was adapted from a concept by Garrett Burke.

The U.S. Mint has announced that the new California State Quarter, including Bags and Two-Roll Sets of the new 25-cent piece, will be available for a ten-week period, beginning January 31, 2005.

The U.S. Mint began minting the state quarters since 1999 and has scheduled five quarters to be released each year -- running from the Delaware quarter on Jan. 4, 1999, until the Hawaii quarter on Aug. 21, 2008.

The California state quarter is the 31st in the series to be issued. Click on quarter to see larger view.
