USA 25-CENTS (KM397)

Salmon

The state quarter program was launched in 1999, with five different quarters being issued each year for 10 years.

Washington's nicely designed quarter features a leaping salmon, which has long been an important food source in the Pacific north-west. Too bad we have pretty much wiped them out.
