Already I've picked up two-each of the first two from 2009, the US territories (Washington DC and Puerto Rico), and I'll be keeping my eye out for the rest. Here's a picture of what they look like:
Apparently starting in 2010 there will be another ten-year fifty-coin issue series about national parks, or, in the case of Delaware (which has no national park) a federally maintained national area.
