What state has the most U.S. coins associated with it?

[RWB]

All fifty states have at least two U.S. coins associated with it: 50 States Quarters and National Parks. But some states have additional commemoratives or other connections with minted coins. What are they?

 

[tejas1836]

I'll guess New York.

 

Several commemoratives - Albany, Hudson,Huguenot-Walloon Tercentenary,

 

Long Island, New Rochelle.

 

Coins with the Statue of Liberty on them.

 

 

Maybe indirectly related to New York---

 

Roosevelt dime

 

Coins with stars representing original states.

Pennsylvania - the Mother Mint!

[James_OldeTowne]

Oregon, because of that sizable run of commems?

[HCumberdale]

I assume you are referring to most by type, not mintage; am I correct?

[RWB]

By design type, yes.

[messydesk]

Not including state or national park quarters and hockey pucks and coins I may be forgetting about:

 

California has a lot -- 3 different designs of Pan-Pac coinage, San Diego, Bay Bridge, California classics, two different modern S mint commems, the 1848 CAL quarter eagle, LA Olympics. That makes 10, which I'm guessing tops the list.

 

Illinois actually has a bunch, too. Columbian half, Isabella quarter, Grant 50c and $1, Elgin, Illnois/Lincoln commem.

 

Virginia has the nickel, the Roanoke, Lynchburg, Norfolk classics, Jamestown, Geo. Washington moderns.

i would say california has to be right on up there

[RWB]

Good start but there are a lot more....

[jackson64]

Virginia has even more than messydesk mentioned if you consider the Dolly Madison commem/s, and buildings like monticello on nickels, Washington's Mt Vernon, some monuments and memorials are in Dc/VA...I'd have to check but I suspect quite a few I'm missing...

 

 

PS: Maryland my Maryland has only a few I can think of--Antietam, the Md commem, the 1812 War commems, star spangled banner commem....

 

PPS: a bit of trivia for everyone--Annapolis ( the statehouse depicted on the reverse of the Maryland quarter) was "technically the first capital of the US where the Constitutional Congress met. The First US President was John Hanson-elected by representatives of each state at the constitutional congress. Later, George Washington was the first elected President in a national election..

I like the California answer as well, considering the number of different Cal gold "types".

[messydesk]

I had thought of the California gold, but don't consider those to be US coins, as they were privately issued.
