Misc Who has still been collecting state quarters? - Page 2

**Bugeater** · 08-21-2006, 09:13 PM

I've been doing it all along, I try to get about a dozen or so of each state. I really don't know why.

**TinyEvel** · 08-22-2006, 01:57 AM

My mom gave our kids one of those slot maps, with about ten of the quarters already in it.

That was three years ago, I still can't find the thing.....

I have them all so far. GEtting bored with it though.

Not a very exciting pasttime, what's you expect?

**Bugeater** · 08-06-2009, 11:33 PM

OK, I was just emptying change out of my pockets and noticed a state quarter that I hadn't seen before, which is odd because the program was supposed to end last year. Upon closer inspection, I see it's goddamned Guam.

WHAT THE ****? Guam? Seriously? Did I miss where it became a US state?

That's after the Japanese companies started selling jet-packs. I take mine to work every morning.

I collect foreign currency.

Countries include Canada, Mexico, U.K., China, Australia. Some bills, but mostly coins.

**Bugeater** · 08-06-2009, 11:50 PM

I'm anxiously awaiting the series of US state quarters of all of the Canadian provinces.

I hear that they will have the faint smell and taste of maple syrup.

How many of you have started at the beginning of the series and have kept going?

I'm like you. Good start. Weak finish.

I have TWO full books

I completely forgot about this thread. Similar to my quarter collection.

Now when I get a shiney new quarter, I don't even turn it over and wonder, "Oooo... perhaps this is a brand new one!" I guess that's what happens when you make these things last 10 friggin years just to collect 50 easy-to-find coins. It's not really much of a collection. It's kind of lame, actually.

I filled my Phil Mint book and have like 3 blanks in my Denver mint book. Totally hacked me off when I saw DC, since there wasn't a slot for it in my books.
