In 1965, the United States Mint produced Washington quarters as part of regular coinage. This period was significant for the coinage of the United States because it marked a transition in the materials used for producing coins. Prior to 1965, quarters (like most other U.S. coins) were made primarily of silver. However, due to the rising price of silver and a shortage of the metal, the composition of the quarter changed starting in 1965.
