The
Massachusetts Quarter is the sixth of the 50 States Commemorative Quarters
released by the U.S. Mint. Above is the rear of the coin. According to
the U.S. Mint's official website, The Massachusetts quarter, the first
quarter of the new millennium, features a design of "The Minuteman,"
a famous statue that stands guard at The Minuteman National Historical
Park in Concord, Massachusetts. The selected design captures a piece of
the Bay State's exceptional history. The Minutemen played a big role in
protecting our nation, as they rallied together to help defeat the British
during the Revolutionary War. These small, influential forces consisting
of regular farmers and colonists, were always at-the-ready and were trained
to assemble and fight on just a minute's notice-hence the term 'minutemen'.
