The Oklahoma State Quarter is the first State Quarter issued in 2008. State quarters are issued in the order in which the states joined the Union. Oklahoma was admitted to statehood in 1889 as the 46th state, Oklahoma is the 46th State Quarter. All State Quarters are struck for circulation at both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, and the mintage for each coin is restricted for approximately 10 weeks.

Following the State Quarter series, the U.S. Mint will also issue a series of six commemorative Quarters in 2009 to honor the District of Columbia and the 5 U.S. territories - Puerto Rico, Guam, American Somoa, U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands.
