(1) Circulating collectible coin programs are 
very popular and generate significant revenue for the 
United States Mint (referred to in this Act as the 
‘‘Mint’’) to continue as a self-sustaining enterprise 
at no cost to the taxpayers. 
(2) During the 50 State Quarters Program 
(1999–2008), the Mint issued 34.2 billion quarter 
dollars into circulation, with an average of 3.4 billion 
quarter dollars annually, generating total circulating 
and numismatic program revenue of $9.1 billion. 
(3) The America the Beautiful Quarters Pro-
gram (2010–2021) has generated total program rev-
enue of $3.7 billion to date. 
(4) Because the America the Beautiful Quar-
ters Program is scheduled to be discontinued in 
2021, authorizing new circulating collectible coin 
programs will contribute to the longevity and long- 
term growth of the Mint, serve the public interest, 
and deliver substantial revenue to the Mint and the 
Department of the Treasury General Fund that oth-
erwise may not be realized. 
(5) The United States Mint has completed ex-
tensive due diligence in evaluating previous circu-
lating collectible coin programs and evaluating the 
likely success of future efforts.
