    I have looked for an answer to this question and can not find one.

    Why is the "U" in United States of America on the obverse side of the ATB quarters a lowercase "u"? The letter is the same size as the rest of the letters, but it has a "tail" at the right side that is not commonly used with a capitalized "U".
