Idaho Quarter The third commemorative quarter coin released in 2007 honored Idaho, and is the 43rd coin in the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters® Program.
Idaho, the Gem State, was admitted into the Union on July 3, 1890 becoming our Nation’s 43rd State. Idaho's quarter features the Peregrine Falcon above an outline of the State of Idaho. The inscriptions on the coin include "Esto Perpetua", ("May it be Forever"), the State's motto, "Idaho" and "1890".
The Peregrine Falcon was once on the endangered species list and because of conservation efforts, is now found throughout Idaho and the United States. It is one of the fastest birds in the world.
