State quarters list by year (1999–2008), with mint marks
Updated · Fernhart Labs
Short answer
The 50 State Quarters came out five a year from 1999 to 2008, starting with Delaware and ending with Hawaii, in the order the states ratified the Constitution or joined the Union. Each was struck for circulation at Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D), so a complete circulation set is 100 coins.
In 2009, six more quarters followed for the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories, bringing the program to 56 designs. San Francisco (S) struck the quarters as proof coins for collectors.

How many coins make a complete set?
| Set | Designs | Coins |
|---|---|---|
| 50 states, P and D | 50 | 100 |
| DC and territories, P and D | 6 | 12 |
| Both programs, P and D | 56 | 112 |
| Both programs, one of each design | 56 | 56 |
Many collectors keep one of each design first (a 50-hole map or folder), then go for both mint marks.
