and is bounded by Pitt, Lenoir, Wayne and Wilson counties.2
A less-than-hectic pace and homespun geniality of small town America are still a way of life in Greene County, NC. Located in beautiful eastern North Carolina in the middle of the coastal plain, Greene County is bordered by Goldsboro, Greenville, Kinston and Wilson making major shopping malls and rich cultural activities only a 15-25 minute drive. Greene county is also at the heart of the planned Global Transpark, the most innovative technology and transportation project ever!3
The North Carolina quarter was printed in 2001 by the U.S. Mint and features the Wright Brother's famous first flight at Kitty Hawk.
The quarter features the date North Carolina signed the constitution, 1789. However, the States slogan is listed as "First Flight", while it is really "First in Flight".
