George Washington (1721 - 1799) won a place in American history as the "Father of Our Country." No other American has been honored more on postage stamps, one dollar bills, and on the quarter. The Washington quarter, designed in 1932 by John Flanagan, was intended as a commemorative issue marking the 200th anniversary of Washington's birth. It was later adopted as a regular United States coin. In 1965, the original silver Washington quarter was replaced by the clad quarter.
