Jefferson Quarter Celebrates 250 Years

The U.S. Mint just dropped a historic new quarter celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, featuring Thomas Jefferson’s silhouette and the Liberty Bell — making him the first president ever depicted on two different regular coins. The unveiling took place at Monticello, complete with a Jefferson reenactor and Mint Director praising the scale of the project, the largest in over a century. Jefferson’s role in founding U.S. currency — even funding early coinage himself — made him the perfect choice. This is the third in a five-coin series honoring pivotal moments and figures, with Lincoln and Madison coming up next. The artist behind the Liberty Bell design was on hand signing autographs, while the U.S. Treasurer highlighted the coins’ symbolism of American optimism — and even teased new baby programs and a presidential dollar coin on the horizon.
