Have you heard about "The 50 State Quarters Program"?
By Gina D.
What is The 50 State Quarters Program? Well, as part of the 50 State Quarters Program, from 1999 to 2008, the United States Mint issued a new state quarter every 10 weeks or so. One side of each state quarters design honors that particular states unique history, traditions, and symbol. So of course every 10 weeks to the day, most banks have been overwhelmed by overly zealous coin collectors asking the tellers if they have the new quarters yet. When the new quarters are distributed to the banks, they usually receive one or two boxes of the new quarters which are to be distributed amongst several thousands of anxious customers. So your talking about one thousand dollars in quarters. Five hundred dollars per box in ten dollar rolls. Of course you don't have to buy the whole ten dollar roll of quarters, but most people do. The U.S. Mint distributed a list of each quarter and when it would be released. So if your interested, its not to late to start collecting the U.S. state quarters. You can purchase a coin holder for the whole set either online or at your nearest coin collection shop. Some of the designs are pretty interesting and make for a very nice gift for young children or even an adult. Who knows, this just might encourage them to start a new hobby of coin collecting. So here's the list of the quarters release date, statehood date as well as the mintage numbers. So, what are you waiting for? Get started and while your at it, check out the quarter for your own home state. Most banks will still have a supply of the state quarters on hand. They might not have every quarter your looking for, but it shouldn't take you to long to find them all since we always seem to have a pocket full of change........... Have Fun........
