So where are all the new quarters in circulation?

It's mid-December, and I've found exactly ONE.

the coin show dealers have them.
they have to be out there somewhere.
The one I found (Yosemite, I believe) was also quite scuffy and a sorry-looking specimen. Might have even already been an AU58!
I've gotten a couple over the year. Each one I received was in change. I've asked at banks if they have any of the new quarters and always the answer is no.
NOT digging in the ground with your metal detector!
1) Mintages are small compared to Statehood quarters. 943,000,000 P Virginia versus 35,200,000 Northern Mariana Islands.
2) No longer automatically available to banks. Perhaps your FRB district doesn'r even have them.
3) Presidental dollar comparision does not compute. They are available to individual banks and I have no problem getting them. Now try getting the Native American ones at your bank.

Edit to add: 2010 P dimes and cents are commonplace. I've gotten half a roll of each from change. Some of them were in bad enough shape that they went in the spending jar in fact, but I have a decent supply of both.

Well for me the 2010-D cents is a whole other story. I went in last week to get $5 worth and pull the copper ones out.
Yes, you guessed it, ten rolls of 2010-D cents. I kept four rolls and put the rest back in the bank's change machine and the proceeds to my savings account.
On another note I did score a roll of the Presidential dollars, James Buchanan. Most of the roll looked like proof coins, very shiny. Unfortunately that means that every scratch looks huge and distracting.

<< <i>Lordmarcoven, you need to be looking for these in change, from stores etc etc.....

You might have to wait a few years to detect some in your digs. Welcome back! Let's hear about your recent adventures, something that I certainly will look forward to.
The only Prexy-Bucks I see in circulation are the ones I spend...
The new coins just don't show up around here (Pittsburgh).
But seriously, I've been fortunate to get a roll or two of each 2010 design from my local banks. I've seen only one in change, a Yosemite. I thought for sure mintages would start picking up as the economy recovers, but that does not appear to be the case (either the economy or mintages improving). My guess is that 90% of these are grabbed by people like myself and will only end up in circulation when we collectively decide that it's not worth hanging onto them anymore, or have to pay our heating bills.
Anyone else get them from their banks?
<< <i>Never mind the Quarters, I'm still trying to find the pennies >>
Good point. I've seen quite a few of the Shield-reverse cents, but not many of the others. Maybe two or three log cabins, but they'd already gone splotchy and yukky-looking.
haven't seen any 2010 quarters and a few 2009 quarters
but seen alot of the (4) 2009s Lincolns last year and way too many 2010 shield pennies this year
our area always seems to get new pennies first
<< <i>Banks cannot order them. They could and did for the state quarters. >>
I've heard this several times and do not believe it, as both of my local banks get them consistently. Banks may not WANT to order them, but that's a different story.
However, the log cabins are somewhat rare. (in perspective) A few months back on my birthday my brother gave me $50 in rolls to search, most of them cents. In those rolls, I only got about 3 log cabins, got about 8 of the log splitter, about a dozen each of the last two designs. Nearly 2 dozen 2010s.
All P mint except one of the log splitters.
I still need a Capitol and Sheild D for my collection, I traded for the first three 2009 Ds.
I heard several years ago from a bank in Colorado Springs that the companies that distribute coins started charging banks extra to provide new coins. Since this charge impacted profits at the banks, very few will intentionally get new coins. Even when they do, it will likely be only one box.
I've never heard anything different and assume this why finding new coins at banks is so difficult.
Now that I live in Dallas, I heard a branch of Bank of America had one box of Lincoln dollars and they gave them all away in a couple of days. I missed out.
*yawn* time for me to go to bed
How about the Pres $1's? Or Shield Cents?
No problem with Pres $1's here (although sometimes took a little time) until I hit a brick wall on the Lincolns.... But absolutely NO ATB Q's around here! SUX for the common collector........
I have managed to pull a few Shield cents from circ, and have gotten a few needed ATB Q's from the remains of a cut-up Mint Set.
Someone also mentioned the Native American $1's and Territorial Q's............ I was lucky enough to get a small free-shipped rolls of the NA $1's & still have 1 or 2 to open/trade (so far, all the ones I opened were D mint), and have a handful of each Territory Q still available from open rolls that I just don't want to spend until I know nobody else needs any in trade......... I'm open to swaps! I still have some recent holes to fill.
PM me.

Later when I looked what I had with a loupe I saw the obverses were
pretty mushy looking strikes. Not alot of detail in George`s bust.

I found it here on the "BST-US Coins" Forum.... How do I put the following post title into a Link?

They aren't in circulation. There hasn't been enough commercial demand to warrant their wide spread release.
That's my first new quarter sighting although I've been getting shield cents for months.
