The 2002 United States Statehood Quarters are a significant part of the U.S. Mint's history. As a continuation of the 50 State Quarters Program, these coins were designed to honor the individual histories and unique qualities of each state. In 2002, the program highlighted the states of Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and Mississippi. Each quarter was minted with a unique design on the reverse side, symbolizing important aspects of each state's history and identity.
