May 13, 200421 yr Is anyone else still collecting these? Just curious. I know they were huge when it started in 1999, but I was on the US mints site, and they have the circulations so low now, there must not be nearly as many people collecting.

May 13, 200421 yr Author NERD! Yeah, I collect coins... I know I am a nerd But hey, what better to collect than money?
May 13, 200421 yr I was wondering the same thing. I haven't seen many new ones or many of the new nickels yet either.

May 13, 200421 yr Is anyone else still collecting these? Just curious. I know they were huge when it started in 1999, but I was on the US mints site, and they have the circulations so low now, there must not be nearly as many people collecting. I would assume the individual circulations on each of the eventual 50 coins would be low, but overall the number of quarters would be about the same as the number that have been in circulation in recent times. We got the kids one of the 50 state folders when the first states aere released, but we haven't added to it since. I usually make a mental note when I get a new state in my change that I haven't seen before, but the only thing I still actively pull out of my pocket change and set aside are the few bicentennial's that still turn up.
May 13, 200421 yr here it is. I've not seen any of those yet either. I'll miss Tommy J. on it, but with the big Lewis and Clark bicentennial (including the 3 year expedition reenactment launching this weekend I think), it's a good heritage tie-in.
May 13, 200421 yr Author I would assume the individual circulations on each of the eventual 50 coins would be low, but overall the number of quarters would be about the same as the number that have been in circulation in recent times. The range of quarters minted is actually really wide. The last quarter was made 450 million times, the Virginia was minted 1.6 billion times. http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_p...&state=Oklahoma
May 13, 200421 yr My mother-in-law refuses to spend a state quarter. She has a barrel of these damn things. I keep telling her hoarding money is against the law, but she doesn't care. (Is that true? I remember once being taught that haording money, taking it out of circulation, is illegal) Personally, she can hoard them if she wants, but don't give me s*** about spending my state quarters while you're at it.

I can't see how it is illegal. Because basically every coin collection would be a crime. Plus the mint makes a huge profit off of people not spending coinage.
May 13, 200421 yr I still collect them. I too have the folder and want to fill it up for my daughter. I also tend to keep 4 or 5 more of each state, just to have. Who knows what a complete set may be worth in 20 years.

May 14, 200421 yr I only keep the Indiana ones for obvious reasons. However, I really wish we wouldn't have had an Indy 500 car and had a basketball on it instead. It's almost as ugly as those license plates we have now.

It's almost as ugly as those license plates we have now. Last summer when I went to my parents house, I had yet to see those. Those are HIDEOUS, like someone went out back and dug out all the plates out of a cereal box.
May 14, 200421 yr My mother collects those. Shes got everyone you could ask for, guys...amazing stuff...now if only I could get a hand on some half dollars,
May 14, 200421 yr LOL...I can't believe those are the state plates; the state actually had some internet vote with like 5 different plates. Somehow that piece won. EDIT: Wow, that came out big. Sorry about that.
May 14, 200421 yr Author Last summer when I went to my parents house, I had yet to see those. Those are HIDEOUS, like someone went out back and dug out all the plates out of a cereal box. All I have to say is that they are better than Amber Waves of Grain from the early to mid 90's. Geesh, why don't you just put "You might be a redneck if..."

Yea, that was pretty funny, and always why I got the specialty plates (that and no way I wanted an 85C license plate) Indiana has DUMBASSES for whoever designs these plates. But these new plates are sooooooooo cereal box.
