The Alabama quarter is the second quarter of 2003, and the 22nd in the 50 State Quarters® Program. Alabama became the 22nd state to be admitted into the Union on December 14, 1819. The Alabama quarter design features an image of Helen Keller with her name in English, and in a reduced-size version of braille. The Alabama quarter is the first U.S. circulating coin to feature braille. An Alabama long leaf pine branch and magnolias grace the sides of the design, and a "Spirit of Courage" banner underlines the central image.

Alabama played a significant role in the development of the space program. The rocket used by Apollo 11, the first successful flight to the moon, was designed and built in Alabama. The first NASA Space Flight Center was built in Alabama and the first director of the center was an Alabama native. His name was Dr. Wernher Von Braun and he led the U. S. Space program until June 1972. There are still many places throughout Alabama with ties to the Space Program including a Space Camp facility.
