| | Although the entire Stars Obverse dime production from 1838 to 1853 and again from 1856 through 1860 totaled over 51 million pieces, mintages varied widely, from a low of 31,300 in 1846 to over 5.7 million in 1856. | | | To fill the void left on the reverse by this motto's departure, the old wreath was replaced with a larger one. | | | The 1856 dimes came in two varieties, with large and small dates, but both are quite common. |

| | The bust of Washington is still be the predominant feature, but the following changes were made to the obverse side of the coin starting in 1999. | | | ---The outer layer material on which the obverse and reverse images are struck is an alloy of.750 copper and.250 nickel | | | Added to the obverse (from their former locations on the reverse) are "United States of America" and "Quarter Dollar." The reason to move these inscriptions was to free up as much space as possible on the reverse for the designs for the individual states. |

| | Obverse and reverse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The terms obverse and reverse apply almost exclusively to currency, and most often specifically to coins; they are usually described with less precision as, respectively, the front and back sides, or with regard to a coin tossed to produce a random choice between two things, "heads" and "tails". | | | For this reason, the principal side of a piece of currency is the one that evokes that reaction by invoking the strength of the state, and that side almost always depicts the monarch, or any well-known representative of the state, or a symbol of the state. | | | In any case, this secondary side is usually less focused, and probably always less central, than the obverse, to the facilitation of the acceptance of the currency. |
