I am not, but my mom does. She works for a bank, so they're uncirculated. I think they'll be my nieces' beer funds once they go to college.

I started collecting the state quarters when they started minting them. I've never been very good at that sort of thing, and this proved to be no exception. I got too bored and/or impatient and/or poor and it didn't last past the first half dozen or so. [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

I bought the 10 annual sets the mint put out with the 5 quarters from each year. I also collected the individual quarters whenever I got them in change when I was shopping. I got a Hawaii quarter in change on New Year's Eve to complete my collection.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

My collection folder has spots for both mints. (P and D) I have at least one of all of the quarters, but not one of each mint for all of them.

Still looking....

I had two complete collections-one of which I was going to give to my neice (sister's daughter) as one of her Christmas presents, and the other I was going to my nephew (brother's son) as a Christmas present.

Lo & behold, I get over to my parent's house on Christmas morning, and they had one complete set for each of their four kids and each of their two grandchildren. :lol:

I've actually been collecting coins since I was 10 years old.
I do have some really rare ones put away.

Speaking of quarters, I think I read somewhere that THIS year-2009-a quarter will be issued for the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and American Samoa, but nobody seems to know for sure.

I got Hawaii just the other day....

I really didn't care about the actual mints when looking for them so I only have one of each state...
So now I have an album worth 12.50 :lol:
