New guy missed the obvious

New here. Didn't know about the quarter change.
I guess it's just normal but I think Haley's Comet type time frames for changes like that. Who was the model?
Willie Nelson?

And is that chin for Mitch McConnell?

Time to start a conspiracy theory.
Washington is looking right now. We're going to have a more conservative leaning federal government.
I know. I'm in Alabama. That might play here. I wonder how many times GW has changed on the quarter?

One is before Prez, the other after.

The job ages everyone!

The Washington quarter series has gone through lots of changes in its history, especially since 1999. Id suggest you look up the original design contest for your answer. Its a neat story that the mint finally got right. A little blurb about it I quickly found below.

There have been several minor changes to the profile over the years. This change is certainly a bit more noticeable. Cheers, RickO

The obverse of the 2022 quarter can also be found on the 1999-W gold $5 commemorative.
