Governor Ryan Announces Illinois Commemorative Quarter Design

Governor George H. Ryan today announced the design for the Illinois commemorative quarter at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The Illinois quarter, first in the 50 States Commemorative Quarter Program to be released in 2003, will pay tribute to Illinois heritage and the state’s past, present, and future role as a leader in agriculture and industry. “The Illinois commemorative quarter will encourage the youth of the United States to explore Illinois, its history and geography, as well as the rich diversity of our heritage,” said Governor Ryan. “I am proud that Lincoln is standing boldly in the center of the design. His resolve and example mean a great deal to people in Illinois and throughout the world.”
