Interesting fact
The Washington Quarter, released in 2016 as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, features a unique design that honors Fort Moultrie at Fort Sumter National Monument in South Carolina. This coin is interesting because it is the first time the Washington Quarter has had a design change since its introduction in 1932. The new design depicts a scene of the fort's flagpole, with the words "Fort Moultrie" and "South Carolina" inscribed above and below it, respectively. This change was made to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, which began at Fort Sumter in 1861.
