In 2015, the United States Mint released a quarter honoring Homestead National Monument of America in Nebraska as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. The Homestead National Monument quarter features a design depicting a log cabin, a plow, and a field of crops, representing the three essential elements of pioneer life: shelter, food, and the tools for farming. The design also includes the inscriptions "Homestead," "Nebraska," "2015," and "E Pluribus Unum."
Homestead National Monument of America commemorates the Homestead Act of 1862, which allowed Americans to claim up to 160 acres of public land, provided they improve the land by building a dwelling and cultivating crops. This quarter design pays tribute to the settlers who participated in the Homestead Act and the lasting impact it had on the development of the American Midwest.
