The
South Carolina Quarter is the 8th 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 South Carolina quarter, the third
quarter of the new millennium, features a design of The Carolina Wren,
the state bird, and the Yellow Jessamine, the state flower. The importance
of the Palmetto Tree, the state tree, dates back to the Revolutionary
War. In 1776, colonists in a small fort built of Palmetto logs successfully
defeated a British fleet trying to capture Charleston Harbor. Since then,
South Carolina has been called, "The Palmetto State."
