Massachusetts Quarter: The Massachusetts quarter, the 6th in the series and the first quarter to be released in the 2000 series, features a design of "The Minuteman", the statue standing guard at The Minuteman National Historical Park in Concord, Massachusetts.
The Minutemen played a large role in the protection of our nation against the British during the Revolutionary War. These forces were trained to assemble and fight on just a moment's notice, thus the term "minuteman".
