I've now had 16 quarters bearing the issue year of 2018. The 16th,
captured this week, is Cumberland Island [Georgia]. The busy
Denverites have struck again.
Over the last 2 years, the league leaders have been
1998 39 coins
2016 TR 38 (the elder Mr Roosevelt, of course)
2015 Kisatchie 37
1995 36
The top states are
2000 Virginia 26
2000 S Carolina 25
2000 Massachusetts 24
Spin that on your milled edges!

I got a D-mint 2008 Hawaii the other day--not many of those here in NJ.
Turning to paper money, has anybody seen bills with Mnuchin's signature
yet? Over 1.5 years in and I got nothin'.

While I don't in any way tally what passes through my hands, the numbers would
seem to track with the mintage totals -- i.e., not many Chaco Canyon or El
Yunque, and lots of Blue Ridge Parkway and Harpers Ferry. What I don't
understand is why there would be so much variation. As many as twenty times
more of the highest minted coins are produced than the lowest.

numbers minted based on assumptions about collectors taking coins out of
circulation?
I know that big reason for the failure of a recent move to stop making
dollar bills and only have coins is that backers couldn't come up with a
convincing economic argument -- once they weighed the benefits of longer
life of coins against the cheaper cost of paper bills, the only thing
that tipped the balance toward coins was assumptions about the number of
coins people would stick in a change jar or lose in sofa cusions.

I've still only seen 4 of the [alleged] 5 stampings for 2018, and none
for 2019. The Eighteen-year-olds seen are "Apostle Islands",
"Cumberland Island", "Pictured Rocks", and "Voyageurs".
And I just had to update my 2010 entries with "Hot Springs" (Arkansas).
I haven't dug into my old cribbed notes to see if I had seen it in the
day, but this is the first one I've seen in the last 2 1/2 years.
The other notable in today's stack is a 2017 George Rogers Clark --
from back east (P to root for the Phillies).
You were thirsting for that, weren't you?

There is actually one circumstance in which I still notice them. At the
supermarket, prices
after taxes are added rarely add up to multiples of five cents. If
you're paying cash,
the final price is rounded up or down to the nearest nickel, but if
you're paying
with a card, the exact price is charged to the penny.

It's a reduction in the money supply to add a bunch of new (and hoarded) coins?

I was referring to hiding them for others to find. It might prove
more interesting than spending the quarters in the local laundromat.

In the last week or 10 days I got another American Memorial Park (this
one a P!), and it came from a cash register (along with a more worn
quarter, IIRC).
And going through the stack today, I actually had 3 instances of states
with 2 coins each .. VA is not a surprise, but NH and HI double up less

In the closing weeks of 2019 I received in change some San Antonio Missions
(Texas) and even a River of No Return Wilderness (Idaho). The name of the
latter is so long that "Wilderness" is inscribed in the circular portion of the
coin that usually contains just the design. I have bright, shiny samples of all
the 2019 quarters, including those for the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam.
This is to be contrasted with previous years. I have never gotten a bright and
shiny Everglades or Chaco Culture, to name but two of several.

Quarters were the only circulation coins they were going to mint at West Point, and I think it was going to only be in 2019...all five "America the Beautiful" series for the year, two million each. They usually only do proofs and commemorative issues, without mint marks.

No, and I don't expect to. The odds are less than 1 in 150 of getting one,

assuming a uniform distribution -- and it most likely isn't. I suspect many
thousands are diverted in different ways for collectors. (How else to explain
companies that are always selling uncirculated sets?) And despite conducting
most of my business in cash, especially for the little everyday stuff, the total
number of quarters -- not just the 2019 ones -- that pass through my hands in
any given year isn't large enough to offset those odds.

Got my first territorial quarter in quite some time last week, a rather beat-up
American Samoa. Today, my first 2020 coin, a dime.

American Samoa? Wasn't that from 2010 or so?

The dimes in my pocket today range from 1989 to 2020, both D's.
6 of the 9 are 21st C, and from the last decade I have '12, '17, '18, and '19.
I have a run of 4 consecutive years.
I haven't check the pocket-overflow in the car yet.

Tuesday, snide...@gmail.com quipped:
Meanwhile, the change machine at the laundry gave me a 2005 KS (D)
that must have spent 15 minutes in circulation.
Two weeks ago it gave me a 2002 TN (S). The first S since I started
the logging 3 1/3 years ago, and I don't think I saw one anytime since
the States started appearing in 1999, though I was not always checking
carefully.

And I did miss another 2K dime in the other pocket.

my first 2020 quarter -- Weir Farm (Connecticut).

once that there are about 2200 species of mammals on the planet, and 1200 of
them are bats.
