Not 1896.
Not Utah.
Please check the rest of the quarters in your pocket change. Every single one of the billions of state quarters issued in the last 10 years has 2 dates on it - the date the coin was minted, and the date its state entered the Union. Your coin was struck in 2007. 1896 is the year Utah became a state.
Also, it was made in either Philadelphia (a "P" next to the bow in Washington's wig) or Denver ("D"), not Utah. There's no mint in Utah.
