Have you ever reached into a coin jar and pulled out a coin that felt much wider and heavier than the rest?
That big, shiny coin is called a quarter.
How can you tell a quarter apart from all the other coins in your hand?

Size is a great clue, but what picture should you look for on the front?
The Front: Heads
The front side of a coin is called heads. On a quarter, the front shows a portrait of George Washington, the very first president of the United States.
You can spot his hair tied back in a neat ponytail, with the word LIBERTY written near the top.
