Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What year was the Wisconsin state quarter released?

Answer: 2004

Wisconsin was the 30th state admitted to the Union, so its quarter was released in the 6th year of the state quarters program, 2004.

2. Which of the following food products is not depicted on the Wisconsin quarter?

Answer: Milk

Although Wisconsin produces over 15% of the nation's milk, the state apparently decided that - by including the cow and the cheese - they had dairy products adequately covered.

3. The engraver's initials are included on the Wisconsin quarter, just below the state's motto. What are those initials?

Answer: AM

Alfred Maletsky is the engraver; he also engraved the New Jersey, New York, and Missouri quarters. The other initials I made up based on Madison Wisconsin, State Quarters, and Forward.

4. Which element of the Wisconsin quarter was minted with a flaw that made some copies much more valuable than the face value?

Answer: Corn

The Denver Mint apparently produced as many as 50,000 Wisconsin quarters with what appeared to be an extra leaf at the base of the ear of corn. These sold for several hundred dollars each shortly after the flaw was discovered.

5. What is Wisconsin's motto, shown on the quarter?

Answer: Forward

"Forward" was adopted as Wisconsin's motto in 1851.
"Friendship" is the motto of Texas; "Hope" is Rhode Island's.
I hope no one chose the other option!

6. When was Wisconsin admitted to the Union? The year is shown on the quarter, of course.

Answer: 1848

Wisconsin became the 30th state on May 29, 1848, succeeding Iowa (December 28, 1846) and preceding California (September 9, 1850).

7. Approximately how many suggested designs did the Wisconsin Commemorative Quarter Council receive?

Answer: 9,600

The council of 23 people appointed by the governor received almost 10,000 suggestions and narrowed them down to 6 finalists.

8. Which of the following was NOT one of the three final design concepts that Wisconsin submitted to the US Mint for consideration?

Answer: Winter Wonderland

These three were selected after a statewide vote. An additional statewide vote in 2003 picked the final design, based on the "Agriculture/Dairy/Barns" theme.

9. Where does the Wisconsin state motto appear on the coin's design?

Answer: Between the agricultural images and "E Pluribus Unum"

Only seven other states display their mottos on the state quarter!

10. What years are shown on the Wisconsin state quarter?

Answer: 1848 and 2004

The state quarters all show the year the state was admitted to the Union and the year the quarter was released. Wisconsin was the 30th state, admitted in 1848, and thus the quarter was released in the 6th year of the state quarters program, 2004.
