    Don't need 50, it's not state sports. It's just 5x year for 2022-2025 so 25.

    Let's see... COD, Warhammer, Madden, Rope Skipping, HopScotch, but mostly... List of esports games - Wikipedia

    The capitalized form "IN GOD WE TRUST" first appeared on the two-cent piece in 1864. It was hit or miss since then with it appearing on some but not all until it was made a requirement on all U.S. currency by an act of congress in 1956, In response to communism and wanting not to appear as a "godless nation".

    I don't personally have a problem with it being there, in my opinion it's secular and it's "God" in general, not any particular version of God, just acknowledging a Creator, but not any set of beliefs of any particular religion.

    During the civil war and after WWII, it was always about not appearing as a heathen nation 100-1,000-10,000 years from now when archaeologists or historians look us up as to what America was. The majority of Americans believe in some form of a God or Creator.

    I find it funny people get bent out of shape over keeping it there OR taking it off,

    Yet the great seal A pyramid with an all seeing eye (eye of providence), at the top says "Annuit Coeptis" translates to "favored undertakings", and at the bottom reads "Novus ordo seclorum" Translates to "New Order of the Ages". Across the bottom of the pyramid "MDCCLXXVI" meaning "1776".

    I mean, if you needed any more signs of a New World Order, or the The United States Of America is the all seeing eye chosen by God to lead the world, it's that little declaration right there, as was intended when the great seal was created.

    "in God We Trust" is the least of the concerns. LOL it just acknowledges or declares we as Americans for the most part believe in something, but what's that great seal acknowledging or "declaring" exactly?

    PokemonGO can be honored perhaps? Maybe Fortnight and Minecraft also? LOL

    To popular again. Would need to be something with little to no appeal to anyone like a series showcasing the different types of Centrum Vitamins of the commemoration of fiber brands

    Too militaristic and angry looking for my tastes. We've traditionally had symbols of peace on our coins to balance our symbols of war.

    I think we need quarters with the great locomotives of all the different US railroads.
    That should last 50 or 60 years.

    So...When I get one of these new quarters, which Dansco album does it fit in? I guess a blank quarter page added to the Wash. Quarters album?o_O

    At some point I am sure that somebody will create an album. But I do not think we will know in advance which sports are going to be commemorated when...

    So the best you can do in advance is 2022 A, 2020 B, 2022 C etc. And I honestly don't think that's a big improvement over a blank page, a fine point sharpie, and decent handwriting.

    To the OP.... if you care to learn about the actual history of the event being portrayed you’d find that a sun and rays on the design would be laughed at and ridiculed as a bone headed move by the mint as a design choice.

    Washington crossed the Delaware with his army under the cover of darkness and in the fog through icy waters on a Christmas Eve to sneak into position to assault a group of Hessian (rental) troops stationed in Trenton who assumed nobody would want to fight on Christmas Day in the snow. It’s been a while since I read the story but they traveled many miles through deep snow with cannon and equipment to set up in position and surprise attacked at day break. The attack was a success as they were completely caught off guard Christmas morning and they captured the town.

    The men weren’t well equipped like you would expect today. It may be more realistic than you think as they would have wanted to over up with anything they could find. Washington was well outfitted and worried about his appearance and looking sharp. Some of his outfits still exist today. The troops were not well outfitted.

    on second thought is that the White cliffs of Dover. Hmmm they must have rowed to far.

    Remember they crosed, the Delaware, marched to Trenton, defeated the Hessians, decided they couldn't hold Trenton and returned back across the Delaware to camp. Then the next day, they crossed over again, marched to Princeton, defeated the troops there and decided to keep Princeton.

    The second day, Ole George had to convince a bunch of troops to keep fighting even though their enlistments were technically up.

    So 200 years later you have the nutshell of the history of New Jersey everybody wants Princeton nobody wants Trenton. And as soon as it gets dark, everybody who works in Trenton, leaves.
