In this offbeat installment of Carved in Stone, host Shawn Chabam swaps sports for spare change as he builds his Mount Rushmore of U.S. state quarters. Released between 1999 and 2008, the 50 State Quarters Program gave each state a chance to showcase its history, culture, and landmarks on the back of a coin. Shawn takes you year-by-year through the designs, noting the standouts, close calls, and missed opportunities — from striking historical scenes to quirky imagery that might make you look twice. With humor, personal asides, and a few unexpected picks, this episode celebrates the artistry and creativity behind one of the most popular U.S. coin collections ever minted. Whether you’re a numismatics enthusiast, a casual coin admirer, or just someone who appreciates a good design debate, this is one Mount Rushmore list you won’t see coming.
