Can I say "Crap" in the title?
Are you ready for this one? Are you? Huh? Huh? Coin World is reporting this bit of news...
Reps. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., and Bruce Poliquin, R-Maine, introduced H.R. 5308 on March 15. The new measure is called the ‘‘Women’s History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act.’’
Or, we could be blessed with a second round of 56 ATB quarters. This is in the ATB legislation:
‘‘(7) PERIOD OF ISSUANCE.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—Subject to paragraph (2), the program established under this subsection shall continue in effect until a national site in each State has been honored.
‘‘(B) SECOND ROUND AT DISCRETION OF SECRETARY.—
‘‘(i) DETERMINATION.—The Secretary may make a determination before the end of the 9-year period beginning when the first quarter dollar is issued under this subsection to continue the period of issuance until a second national site in each State, the District of Columbia, and each territory referred to in this sub-section has been honored with a design on a quarter dollar.
So SecTreas has until the end of this year before deciding if ATB goes another 12 years, or we could get 12 years of women's history (the Nevada coin might be interesting).
Or maybe we could just say no...

It's time we force the issue and put specialty items for circulation to rest once and for all.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Wouldn't there be 57 quarters?---50 states, 6 territories, and Washington, D.C.

5 + DC = 6
Will there be a butterfly on each coin?
There are 6 territories.
6 + DC = 7.> @MsMorrisine said:
Did a web search and you are of course correct. I was counting D.C. as a territory.

What would #6 be? The above were the state Q honorees when their time came.
Semantics.
End of the day, if they do this, it is what it is.... "crap"
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
As long as we don't end up with more rocks and birds, I'm all for it.
Except for Lady Bird Johnson, of course.
I still like my 3142 counties proposal:

I say we do something with dimes now. Only one that hasn't had any change
HAPPY COLLECTING
I remember about 35 years ago reading a Mad Magazine article proposing a coinage series for "All 200 Million Living Americans" - as cheesy as the mint is getting Mad Magazine might have predicted the future.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
We could put Stormy Daniels on the Nevada Quarter but that would demean all our legal whores in legal whorehouses.

I like the idea. I like having things to look for. Bring them on!
We could have more quarters if California splits up!
Later, Paul.
