United States Mint at Denver Hosts Ceremonial Strike For Final Quarter of 2007
Utah Quarter Celebrates the Historic Joining of the Rails, Linking East and West
Reporters, photographers and camera crews won’t want to miss the ceremonial striking of the final quarter of 2007- the Utah commemorative quarter-dollar. The United States Mint at Denver will host Utah officials at a ceremony scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. (MT) on October 15. Credentialed press should arrive by 9:00 a. m. to check in with the United States Mint Police.
The Utah quarter-the 45th coin in the United States Mint 50 State Quarters® Program-commemorates the historic joining of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads at Promontory Summit on May 1869. The coin’s reverse design features two locomotives moving toward the golden spike that joined the two railroads, linking East to West and transforming both the Utah Territory and the Nation. The inscriptions “Crossroads of the West,” “Utah” and “1896,” the year Utah was admitted into the union.
