| In 1997, Congress passed 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act, which ordered the creation of the state quarters series to "honor the unique Federal Republic of 50 States that comprise the United States; and to promote the diffusion of knowledge among the youth of the United States about the individual states, their history and geography, and the rich diversity of the national heritage..." Each year from 1999 to 2008 5 US States were featured on the Washington Quarter. An Uncirculated, Proof and Silver Proof Version were released of each state. Selling Coins?
