President George W. Bush signed the 56-state-quarter bill into law Dec. 26, assuring that Washington, D.C., and five insular trust territories will have their ?state quarter? coins.
Benefiting are Washington, D.C., and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which get the coins authorized by section 622 of the act.
