Reps. Eleanor Holmes North, D-D.C., along with Eni F.H. Faleomavaega, D-American Samoa; Robert Underwood, D-Guam; Carlos Romero-Barcelo, D-Puerto Rico; and Donna N. Christian-Green, D-Virgin Islands, are planning to introduce legislation which would essentially add an 11th year to the 10-year commemorative program approved by Congress in early November.
Both the House and Senate 50 State Circulating Commemorative Coin bills included a provision to allow any states admitted into the Union before the end of the 10-year period to issue circulating commemorative quarter dollars after the 50 states have had their coins issued.
