I probably received over 100 quarters and 150+ shield Lincolns in change the short time I was in the States during 2010 (less than 2 months). Indiana must be the dumping grounds for the Mint.

one maybe two. Still more than the '09 Nickels & Dimes (zilch)!

I received six. Four were received as change and the other two in a roll of quarters I got to do laundry. IIRC it was two Hot Springs, two Yellowstone, one Yosemite and I can't remember the other. While I like the designs for the Yellowstone and especially like the Yosemite, the flatness of the design does detract from what should have been nicer examples of U.S. coinage.
All of them showed at least some signs of being circulated.
As for 2010 cents, twice asking for $5 worth of cents to search through I got all 2010-D rolls. Beyond that I've gotten many in change and seen many in rolls.
I live on the north side of Dallas, right by Plano, TX.
I posted last week about finding one 2009-D nickel in a roll. I've seen about 20 2010-D nickels and about a dozen 2010-D dimes.
And another, just after New Year. Think that was Yellowstone.
I found more silver quarters in change in 2010.
But that was a fluke. Got one (1964) at the convenience store, then went back in and asked if there were more, and there were four more. All 1964 (P&D). That's the first time I've gotten silver quarters in change since I don't know when. Probably since I was a teenager. And the very next day I got a 1963 dime from the till at work.

I guess if there were some Liberty quarter eagles in my change, I might turn them over to see if there is a "D" mintmark.

weak, although I've seen more of the Territorials, so maybe there will be more ATBs next year after a 1 year lag.
Still no 2009 Nickels, either!

It really does pain me to admit this but I like these things.
None so far in 2011.
