THE NEW HAMPSHIRE COMMEMORATIVE QUARTER
Issued in August of 2000, the ninth coin in the 50 States Quarters® Program commemorates the State of New Hampshire. It features the Old Man of the Mountain, New Hampshire's beloved symbol that fell in 2003. Nine stars for the ninth state denote New Hampshire's vital role in the ratification of the Constitution -- it was the 2/3 majority needed to accept the basic document of our nation. The deisgn is completed with the State's Motto "Live Free or Die", which was part of a toast sent by General John Stark to his Regimental Reunion in 1809: "Live Free or Die; Death is not the Worst of Evils."
