Just noticed something...

While I was taking down the tills for the night, I noticed a new shiny quarter. But this one did not state "QUARTER DOLLAR", it listed 25c as its denomination. That has not been listed as such since Draped Bust quarters.

    I noticed that too. I’m not sure yet how I feel about it. Sometimes I look at it and think it looks cool, and I like it. Other time I look at it and it makes me think it looks cheap, like it’s some toy coin for teaching kids about money. Overall though I think I’m in favor.

    I wonder if there is a story about why they used that 25¢ in the design.

    Definitely a first with the 25 ¢, not sure if I like it. Though I’m not sure if I like real people on coins either. :)

    Good catch on the "c" vs. "¢". And being the first with the cent symbol.

    It is interesting, and a first for the 'cent sign' on a U.S. coin. My opinion is, they used the 25￠due to lack of space with that particular design. JMO Cheers, RickO

    They also think that a quarter year is 4 months. (not 3).

    The typewriters we used long ago had a "cent sign" on the keyboard, but modern computers do not have one on their keyboards.

    What exactly is it, a coin or a token?

    Or use INSERT, but still not on the keyboard.

    I'm wondering what the Chief Engraver at the Mint does these today's. Is he a CAD? Computer Aided Designer?

    That has to be typed on the number pad to the right, not the numbers up top.

    Correct.

  • JimTylerJimTyler Posts: 3,466 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Anybody else see a resemblance ?

  • coinnutcoinnut Posts: 1,432 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not spelling out the denomination in my opinion makes it look like an arcade token. I also include the Presidential Dollars and the American Innovation Dollars in that group.
    As far as the quarter series goes, they should have given it a rest after the statehood quarters.

    ¢ Wow I found it, not labeled, buried in a keyboard option where you are forced to use shortcuts.....good grief.....why can't it just be on a key?? That's my 25¢ worth.

    Or alt-4 for Mac users (vs. shift-4 for $).
