| Additional information |
New Hampshire was the ninth state admitted to the Union and the first to vote for ratification of the federal Constitution in 1788 — a fact its residents have never been shy about. The 50 State Quarters program, authorized by the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act of 1997, issued five new reverse designs annually from 1999 through 2008, sequenced by order of statehood. New Hampshire fell fourth in the 2000 release, alongside Virginia, South Carolina, Maryland, and Massachusetts.
Philadelphia and Denver both struck circulation strikes; San Francisco produced proof versions in clad and silver. Combined mintages across facilities ran into the hundreds of millions.
