Cut-Out Coin Jewelry - Rhode Island The Rhode Island quarter, released May 21, 2001, honors the "Ocean State" with a picture of a beautiful vintage sailboat moving through Narragansett Bay with the Pell Bridge in the background. Sailing is, of course, the most popular sport in the smallest state in the union. With over 400 miles of coastline and more than 100 fresh and salt water beaches, Rhode Island was home to the Americas Cup for more than 50 years and is widely known as the Sailing Capital of the World. The release of the Rhode Island quarter completes the release of all of the commemorative quarters for the 13 Original Colonies and states. "Today is a great day for the State of Rhode Island. The release of the Rhode Island quarter marks the culmination of a process that involved the public in choosing the themes and, ultimately, the design that will convey our state's heritage to the rest of the nation. The 50 State Quarters? Program has given all Rhode Islanders a wonderful opportunity to share our unique character with America."
