The United States Mint 2009 District of Columbia and U.S. Territories Quarters Proof Set contains six quarter-dollar coins, each struck in accordance with Public Law 110-161. These six quarter-dollar coins honor the District of Columbia and the five U.S. territories: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Unlike circulating coins, each proof coin is struck at least twice with specially polished dies under very high pressure to produce sharp designs and a mirror-like finish.
This distinctive set features uncirculated versions of the circulating dollar coins produced by the United States Mint in 2008.
To encourage robust national circulation of $1 Coins (non-numismatic, circulation-grade coins), the United States Mint has introduced the Circulating $1 Coin Direct Ship Program. This program makes it easy for retailers, financial institutions, and other interested parties to obtain smaller quantities of $1 coins.
