Coin collecting and all these state quarters?

Is there a list somewhere out there that will show me what coins the Mint has done. . .in the state Quarters ? I have been to the US mint and cannot find a list. . . I also see that there is one issued for / to Somoa? Now it has been a LONG TIME since school . . but what is up with that? Is it part of the USA now? Guess I better go back to school. . .Also. . I see the Mint is doing something with Nickels too. . .I need a lesson I guess. . .

The mints did a quarter for each of the 50 states, there is a D mint mark for the Denver mint, a P mint mark for the Philadelphia mint and the proof version has an S for the San Francisco mint. The mint then had a separate program for the District of Columbia (Washington DC) and the 5 US territories (act of congress 2008). Even though the people are not allowed to vote in US elections they are still citizens of the United States.They are the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, America samoa, The US Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Now starting this year there is a new quarter program called the National Parks, there will be one quarter for each state with a national park or national monument on it.
