2006 Nebraska State Quarter coin

The Nebraska State Quarter was released in 2006 as part of the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters Program, which ran from 1999 to 2008. This coin commemorates Nebraska's admission to the Union in 1867 and features Chimney Rock, a prominent geological formation that served as a landmark for pioneers traveling west along the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails. The design depicts a covered wagon traveling past Chimney Rock, symbolizing Nebraska's important role in westward expansion during the 19th century. Coin collectors and numismatists particularly value state quarters for their historical significance and as part of complete state quarter collections. These coins are especially appreciated by those interested in American history, western expansion, and those with connections to Nebraska.
