Massachusetts 2000 State Quarter:
A tribute to the heroic Minutemen of the American Revolution.

The 2000 Massachusetts State Quarter was the sixth coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program.

The coin design portrays a “Minuteman” soldier, a symbol of courage and patriotism during the Revolutionary War. Standing proudly against an outline of Massachusetts, the coin captures the spirit of the state and its historical significance. Inscribed on the right side are the words “Massachusetts” and “The Bay State,” reinforcing its identity.

On a side note, children were the only people allowed to submit designs for the Massachusetts Quarter. Over 100 submissions were received, and after careful consideration, the Commission narrowed them down to five finalists. In a tie, the winners were two students from the sixth and seventh grades.

The 50 State Quarters Program was launched in 1999 by the U.S. Mint and was a 10-year initiative that honored each of the 50 states. The U.S. Mint issued five new quarters each year in the order that the states ratified the Constitution or were admitted into the Union.

The coins have a common obverse design of George Washington and a state-specific reverse design. The coins were produced for about 10 weeks each and will never be produced again.
