  • A quarter dollar, commonly shortened to quarter, is a coin worth ¼ of a United States dollar, or 25 cents. The quarter has been produced since 1796. The choice of 25¢ as a denomination, as opposed to 20¢ which is more common in other parts of the world, originated with the practice of dividing Spanish Milled Dollars into eight wedge shaped segments. These fragments were known as Pieces of Eight. At one time "two bits", i.e. two pieces of eight, was a common nickname for a quarter and is also the source of the jingle "two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar."
  • クォーター(英語:Quarter)として知られるアメリカ合衆国25セント硬貨は、アメリカ合衆国内で流通する通貨。1アメリカドルのクォーター(4分の1)分の価値を持つ。1796年から鋳造されており、アメリカ国内の硬貨の中でも1ドル硬貨・50セント硬貨に次ぐ、額面の大きな通貨単位である。 硬貨は時折、スペイン・レアル硬貨の「トゥー・ビッツ(two bits、2枚の硬貨、の意)」と呼ばれることがあるが、これは1レアル硬貨が初期のアメリカにおいて使用されていたスペイン・ドルの8分の1の価値があり、2枚の硬貨でそのドルの4分の1の価値と等しかった事実によるものである。
  • Quarter er en mynt som er verdt en fjerdedel av en Amerikansk dollar, eller 25 cent. Mynten har blitt produsert siden 1796, og er den mest verdifulle mynten som er i ordinær sirkulasjon i USA. Det finnes forskjellige mynter med verdi $1, men siden denne verdien også finnes i seddel, er ikke dollarmyntene blitt spesielt vanlige. Dette kan muligens forandre seg, men det gjenstår å se.
