An "interesting state quarter in change" post

DaveG

Today, in my change from lunch, I received three brand-spanking new Vermont 'D' quarters.

What's interesting about this is, of course, the Vermont quarter was released in 2001 and I got them in NYC, where I usually don't see brand new 'D' quarters. I wonder where these coins have been hiding for the past year or so!

(Of course, I've seen exactly one Mississippi quarter so far!)

Has anyone else received brand new state quarters months or more after they were originally released?

Bank rolls aren't really rotated stock like on the bread isle, so there could be rolls sitting in the back in storage vaults until somebody needs more rolls of quarters.

That's cool. I never get anything interesting in change (yet, each and every coin is scrutinized!) but today amid the 68 cents change I got at Arby's - a bicentennial quarter PLUS a 1944 Lincoln in VF.

OK, who unloaded into the Coinstar?

I just checked my change there was a red BU 82 cent.

The mint and fed do rotate their stocks of coin. There is a lot more shipment of the states
issues than there was for the earlier quarters. Whether or not these were shipped to the
east coast by the fed is difficult to say. Just last year I got four brand new 1998 quarters
in a roll. It normally takes only three years for the mint and fed to completely rotate their
stock.

I put about $35 in wheaties dating from 1910 into circulation recently, rolled em and cashed em.
