Title: Kansas Quarter
Post by: W. Gray on June 12, 2008, 11:49:55 AM
The US Mint printed 564.3 million Kansas quarters and none will be printed again.

I lack three quarters from having a complete set of state quarters. I will hand the set down and 100 years from now the set will probably be worth, worth, worth--$12.50.

I have yet to see a presidential dollar.

Washington and Adams have been released.

I've had them and they spend just as good as the paper ones.

The new $5.00 bills are pretty cool... after you get over the fact they look a little like Monopoly money.
I think the hardest thing to figure out is why they made the gold $1.00 coins look so similar to the quarter?

good question Tobina - you'd think they would have learned after the Susan B Anthony dollar.  How many of you used how many for a quarter before you realized what you'd done?  I lost 75 cents several times.

I have a set of presidential coins that were given out with a tank of gas from some station in the 70's.  I believe they are legal tender in some other country.  Personally I think they are much nicer than the ones that have just recently come out.

About 15 $20 bills from the 1971 haul of D.B. Cooper that was found in 1980 sold at auction today for $37,000.

The Denver Post contained information today that the U.S. mint will issue another round of state quarters beginning in 2010.

States will submit what they desire (within an overall theme) on the quarter and the mint will pick what to print.

Waldo, what states are you missing? I am missing only Michigan and hope to find it soon. It's fun looking. I got a book to put them in,not for anything but fun. Next round are suppose to have something to do with parks. Delaware has no national parks, so we may go with the Wilmington and Western steam railroad or a beach theme.

I am missing the last one, Hawaii.

I keep telling myself to stop this nonsense but I keep looking.

I have only been able to come across two of the presidential $1 coins.

I still have not come across a Hawaii quarter.

I have also not seen any further presidential $1 coins.

Have any of you guys seen the new D.C., Guam, Samoa, U.S. V.I. and other territories quarters yet?
