Well that was easy enough.. however,
not completely accurate.  1999 marks the
beginning of the 'state' quarters.  Each year
until 2008, there will be 5-6 new quarters
minted -- one for each state of the union.
So far, I have only seen Pennsylvania's
quarter-- but I understand that there are
others out (Connecticut, for one)... and in
the meantime, the "eagle" quarter will not
be minted...  The face of the quarter is also
changed a bit...

Too much writing if you ask me...
(the year is on the obverse)
