The 1999 quarter, part of the 50 State Quarters program, is composed of a cupronickel (75% copper and 25% nickel) clad over a pure copper core. This composition is the same as standard quarters minted since 1965. The 1999 quarters feature designs representing states, with the first five states released being Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, and Connecticut.

Madeleine Albright was the first female Secretary of State in the United States, serving from 1997 to 2001.
A 2002 quarter featuring an astronaut is likely a reference to the 2002 New Hampshire state quarter, which depicts the "Live Free or Die" motto and features a moonlit scene. However, if you're referring to a quarter with a space theme, it might be a novelty or altered coin rather than a standard issue. Generally, standard 2002 quarters are worth face value (25 cents) unless they are in uncirculated condition or part of a special collection. Always check for specific markings or conditions that might affect its value.

"North Carolina became the 12th state on November 21, 1789. Governor James B. Hunt had several state groups and coin collectors evaluate design ideas from the people of North Carolina. The governor and his committees selected the "First Flight" design idea to represent their state quarter. The words "First Flight" are in the center of the quarter." - Excerpt from page linked below. It is a shame that people who designed the quarter didn't see how misleading it is to place the year 1789 above "First Flight". In fact the Wright brothers had their first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903.
North Carolina is credited with the first flight. It is also the logo on their license plates
The first successful flight of their glider was Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
The first flight of an aircraft was achieved in 1903 by Wright Brothers in USA in the state of North Carolina.
North Carolina's license plate says 'First in Flight'. See all 50 US state plates on the link below.
The first powered flight happened on December 17, 1903. It happened at Kitty Hawk. It is in the state of North Carolina.
Helen Keller was pictured on the reverse. George Washington, as with all of the state quarters, was on the obverse.
It depends on the quarter. From 1932-1964 silver quarters had the familiar Washington eagle design on the back, just like clad quarters up until the state quarter series. The Standing Liberty quarters depict an Eagle in flight, the barber quarter has a heraldic eagle on the reverse and earlier coins usually have something stating that it is a quarter of a dollar.
That would be North Carolina and it is due to the first successful flight of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk.
The first leg of the flight was from Oakland, California, to Miami, Florida.
