Mississippi Quarter The fifth and last quarter released in 2002 honored Mississippi, and is the 20th in the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters® Program.
Mississippi was admitted into the Union on December 10, 1817 becoming our Nation’s 20th State. Nicknamed the "Magnolia State," Mississippi's quarter features the beauty and elegance of the state flower, combining the blossoms and leaves of two magnolias.
