Looks like 2009 will be a low mintage for each quarter design
Especailly when 1 more design will be added to the years lineup.
on the US mints web site says that the mintage so far is
DC quarters are 88.8m for Denver and 83.6m for Phil
Puerto Rico will be 86m for Denver and 53m for Phil

No wonder why my bank has never received any yet

PLUS the casual collectors tell me they are NO longer interested. Their coin boards are full with no more room. They are tired of looking after 10 years.
On second thought, that holds true for me. I am making no effort to get both mints on the presidential dollars. It does not help that I need optical aid to see the mintmarks there.

Some say they are part of the state quarters series some say they aren't; all I know is I had a subscription to the state quarter program with the mint and they didn't send me the territories quarters as part of my subscription I had to order them separate. So obviously the mint doesn't consider them part of the state quarter series.

However the DC quarter has shown up in Massachusetts in pure rolls.

<< <i>I just noticed that this particular thread has not yet mentioned that the quarter distribution system is broke. See the front page of the March 23 Coin World. According to them, banks can not order a particular quarter. They predict these quarters will show up mixed with other quarters. New cents and Native American dollars fall in a similiar catagory.

Most new coins are just put in large hoppers with whatever happens to
already be in the hopper which is probably circulated coins since quarters
have the lowest replacement rate in the economy. Generally new mintages
are about 5% of the total number in circulation with 3% going to replace
lost coin and 2% for growth in usage.
At the current time there is a large net flow of quarters back to the FED
so there will be very few new coins going into circulation. If the counting
houses won't empty their hoppers before adding the new coins then much
of a new bag will be mixed with circulated coin or other new quarters up
to about three years old.
Many areas of the country appear not to be ordering new coin at all so these
will have to wander in on circulation. Low mintage coins might never get to
the other side of the country if they get taken up by collectors before they
get there.
In a random walk it takes about 9 years now days (probably) to get well
distributed across the country. But collectors can interfere with coins. Re-
member back in the '50's and '60's collectors removed all the low mintage
coins from circulation. This might happen again especially if mintages keep
decreasing. They'll probably concentrate on getting these coins to the areas
being honored and otherwise they'll be released only where there is a net
demand for coins.
If the economic problems persist they might even ship circulated coins to areas
that need them and make coins only for mint sets and numismatic sales.
