    Talking WTH am I going to do now?

    Yesterday at about 3:45 P.M. MST, I placed the Hawaii quarter into My Album... Yes, I now have all 50.

    And before someone points it out, Yes I realize I need a life...

    Congrats!

    A buddy at work has the US State Map with a place for every State Quarter. It is only missing a couple...

    Can't wait to for him to finish it up (of course we help when we find the ones he needed). But I don't know, maybe its a sense of completion!

    My wife collects them. I always have to check my quarters before I spend them. Do you guys collect one from both mints or just the Denver?

    I've been tempted to save them. I don't spend my quarters until I need the money or want to buy a goodie. I have $230 right now. I'll bet I have many of the different states sitting in my jar.

    Yeah. We have at least 3 of every state, including quite a few mint proof (or whatever they're called, the ones in plastic jackets).
    I have no idea why, the maps with the little not-quite-quarter-sized cutouts are huge and always in the way... I wanted to collect the presidential dollar coins, but apparently that's not cool.
    A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

    As the guy that has to deliver those damn things and listen to people piss and moan when they don't get the right state because they didn't order in time, all I can say is YIPPEE-SKIPPY IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!! Hey Marlin, If you want a challenge, collect the First Lady coins.

    Actually, I posted to soon. There is a Lincoln Penny series, and Washington D.C./ Territories quarter series for 2009. God, I just can't wait for that. I just hope the D.C. quarter says "Taxation Without Representation" like thier plates.
