Phoenix, Arizona -As a Mariachi band played, the Arizona commemorative quarter-dollar coin, the 48th quarter of the popular 50 State Quarters® Program, was introduced into circulation in a ceremony on the State Capitol Senate Lawn today. United States Mint Director Ed Moy joined Governor Janet Napolitano in hosting the festivities.
"This quarter celebrates the breathtaking natural beauty of Arizona, from its rare Saguaro cactus to the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon," Director Moy told the crowd. "When Americans pull this coin out of their pockets, they'll immediately think of Arizona."
