<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dockwalliper, post: 305254, member: 392&quot;]H.R. 392: District of Columbia and United States Territories Circulating Quarter Dollar Program Act was passed by the house on January 23rd 2007 and sent to the Senate for a vote. On Jan 24, 2007: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs where it sits today.</p><p>This is the 5th time the law was passed by congress but each time the senate fails to act and the bill dies.(2001,&#039;02,&#039;05,&#039;06,&#039;07) A recent article in Neumismatic News speculated that Senate might act this year because the time is running short to have designs ready. Maybe part of an omnibus coin bill like the one that gave us president dollars, Buffalo Gold and 2009 commemerative cents. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The bill passed by congress this year is <b>NOT </b>an extencion of the state quarter program. Its called the District of Columbia and United States Territories Circulating Quarter Dollar Program Act&nbsp; It just happens tofollow the State quarter program.</p><p><br /></p><p>Congress has <b>NEVER</b> said no to the quarter program. It has passed every time it came up and sent to the Senate.</p><p>The Senate has never voted on any of the bills. They never came up for a vote.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I think theres a decent chance this will come up to a vote in the senate soon and will pass. Gotta figure an extra half Million in seigniorage.............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
