Oregon State Quarter

My grandson has completed his state quarter set minus one coin, the Organ state quarter. He completed the set by finding coins in circulation. Most are very nice AU coins but for some reason in all his searching he hasn't seen an Oregon quarter in any condition. Why is this coin so hard to find in circulation?
The quarter can be had on EBay but he asked my why he can't find one in change and I had no idea of the answer.
The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

Probably just random bad luck.
There will always be one that is "last".
All the mintages were pretty large.

I'd say "keep looking"; one is bound to turn up at some point.
In the meantime, he could switch to a different series, to reduce the frustration on this coin.
Random bad luck
Try hunting in boxes of quarters
How long has it been since he found the second-to-last quarter?
Random bad luck, we all get it time to time
Buy him one off eBay or BST and sneak it into his world. Don’t let him know and I believe you will score many grandpa points, in Heaven, where it counts. 😉

Yep... I am still looking for my first W quarter in the wild.... Sometimes, certain coins, though known to be 'common', or at least a lot of them minted, seem to not be available in certain areas. No rhyme or reason, just chance. Cheers, RickO
