Homonym: Quarter (Fraction)
A "quarter" is a term that can refer to a few different things, but most commonly, it describes a period of three months in a year. Businesses and schools often divide the year into four quarters: January to March, April to June, July to September, and October to December. This helps in planning and evaluating performance over time.
In the United States, a quarter is also a type of coin worth 25 cents. The U.S. Mint produces these coins, which feature important symbols like the George Washington portrait on one side. Quarters are commonly used in everyday transactions and can be collected as part of coin collections.
