I should add that these should be laid out like the states issues to provide continuity except that rather than "E Pluribus Unum" under the date it should be the status of the place in question; Puerto Rice would be "territory" and Washington would be "Dist- rict of Columbia". This would denote that they are not states of the union.

Somebody should have inserted wording into the bill that would disallow people from inserting wording into a bill that isn't directly related to the original bill. There have been many, many laws that would have never passed on their own had the wording not been inserted in the middle of some bill that had nothing to do with that law in the first place. This idea of adding territories to the SHQ program is one of them.

Understandable why they might make that mistake -- "useless" swampland was taken from both states in 1790 to form the District, although Virginia's portion was retroceded back in 1847 because it was no longer needed by the federal government.

Michigan, please provide a direct link to your source, thank you.
I'd like a direct link. According to this site, the bill hasn't been approved by the Senate, and has been rejected in various forms every year since 1999.
The wording from the bill you posted (HR 392)was added to an omnibus spending bill. The House packed the bill with so much pork that there is little chance that this section will be removed before the Senate approves it and passes it to the President where he will sign it because it will contain his funding for the war in Iraq. While no one in the Senate had any real interest in pushing for these quarters there is really no interest in denying them either. They have bigger fish to fry.
As for the 2009 sets, the proof will have 18 coins and the Mint set will have 36. Maybe more if different variations of the cents are included (copper & zinc).
Both the Senate and the House have already approved it, the House finished it up last night. President Bush is expected to sign it soon, probably before Christmas.

Waaahhh!
How about a commem for "America Haters." They can only be purchased in Venezuela from Chavez himself. The cost is freedom of speech and your citizenship.

The largest entitlement program of the past 20 years is medicare part d (prescription drug benefit). This was passed by a Republican controlled house and senate, and signed by GW Bush. Nondefense, discretionary spending increased at the greatest rate in the last 39 years under the first 6 years of the Bush administration. He is the only chief executive in the history of the republic to cut taxes in time of war.

Thank you very much.

Maybe we could have a Guantanamo Bay Quarter too!

Cool! An Area 51 Quarter!

A "Club Gitmo" quarter would be awesome.

<< <i>Will we get an Iraq quarter in 2010?
A turbin is as close as we get to another capped bust coin, eh ?
The real question is however, how come after 2 1/2 years Michigan has never turned on his PM function?

How about the
StateHood and Individual Territories program?

Goes in line with the gov'ts globalism. Those quarters will be denominated as quarter ameros.
