A bison skull, symbol of the state’s rugged, independent heritage, is the prominent image on the Montana quarter, the first coin to be released by the United States Mint in 2007 in the popular 50 State Quarters Program.
The public is invited to join United States Mint Director Ed Moy and Gov. Brian Schweitzer at the launch of the Montana quarter at the Helena Civic Center at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 29. Following the ceremony, the crowd may exchange their paper currency for $10 rolls of newly minted Montana quarters. Children 18 years old and younger will receive a free Montana quarter.
