I voted: Yes, whenever I get a new one in change I hold on to it

 

So far we've collected at least 3 of every coin released.

 

How complete is your collection?

I had started but it seems that sometime around February (16th) something else began to take my attention and I just got out of it. I have 4 of each up till February of this year though. 2 each from the Philadelphia mint and 2 each from the Denver Mint.

I keep trying to collect them, but it always seems that when I get close to payday, the pop machine just keeps calling for them and I cannot refuse the caffeine gods, so they do not usually get through. LOL.

It seems to me they're getting harder to find - for a while I would usually get a fairly new one within a week or two of them coming out...now it is sometimes months. I've gotten a couple of them mint and I keep planning to get a complete mint set.

We had provincial quarters, and then a whole bunch of millenium edition quarters that I started to collect. I never got around to getting them all though. They were pretty neat however.

I do not collect them at all, but from time to time I allow folks who are collecting them to raid my change purse, as I always have lots of quarters.

I've seen em and they look very cool but they're too expensive for my collective tastes.

What $30 for a quarter is to much? LOL :dude: I don't blame you that sounds like an unfair trade.

And I hate just paying a $1.00 for a quarter, lol :)

I voted No, I could care less about them..They are neat and I probably would try to collect them if I didn't need them for the laundrymat every week! It's just too hard to hold on to Quarters..!!

We only need one more New Mexico to have two complete sets. (We we're collecting three sets but I broke down during a time of cash drought and spent one set.)

Looks great, I too was collecting them for a few years but wound up depositing them into the bank not too long ago.

 

I do have several full rolls of the early states that my father had bought from the US Mint. I think I have the first 5 or 6 states in that manor.

I wasn't paying any attention to which mint any coin came from, it was difficult enough just getting these.

I had a friend in Kansas (who was Amy's friend as well) that sent me all of the first 5 or 6 states from the Denver mint and I sent her the ones from the Philadelphia mint.

 

The full rolls that I have are from both mints.
