Puerto Rico included in commemorative quarters program

Wednesday, October 9th, 2002.

SAN JUAN (AP) – The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution to include Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the U.S. Mariana Islands, and the District of Columbia in the commemorative quarters program that started in 2000.

Local authorities should select the design of the coin that will be issued in 2009, according to published reports.

The resolution was approved after two years of scrutiny.

The commemorative quarters program consists of the gradual minting and issuing of a coin for each of the 50 U.S. states, beginning with Delaware and ending with Hawaii and Alaska in 2008.
