Big Push to Illuminate The Quarter from circulation by the year 2020

Leaving us with cents and nickels along with dimes. The quarter is now considered obsolite and doesn't speed up the process of handing out change any quicker. Many people stick quarters in water jugs and forget about them. Or, drop them into pinball machines and not play competitively. Sadly the quarter is now worth what a nickel was worth fifity years ago. It was suppose to be a one year type coin back in 1932 so I agree with the movement: it's time to drop the quarter from circulation.

So if a quarter is worthless, WHY still keep the cent, nickel, & dime? But thanks for bringing the question "to light"!
The cent is around due to the state of Ill. allowing them to be used in their tow roads. So, they're going to stick around. The nickel is large enough so as not to get lost and it's easy to have a few of them in the cash tills without cuasing undue strain on the economy. The dime has more spending value per weight than any other coin so it stays.
The quarter is put away from state collectors- mostly uneducated small children, and has been proven time and time again it is a burden on our society.
Illuminating.....
And yet, completely lost in the dark.
abcde12345 I have read a lot of stupid things you have posted, and this one is no exception.
Eliminate the QUARTER??
That's the only coin anybody uses any more.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Where did you hear or read about this "Big Push" ???
But....but....if the vending machine gives you change in nickels and dimes, it will be like hitting the jackpot every day!!
I don’t like glow in the dark quarters either. Thank goodness

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
They better not, that's the jackpot coin in the Coinstar machines.
what they need to get rid of is the one dollar bill and get some use out of all the 900 million presidential dollars stored in fed vaults
Do you have a link to any sources supporting this "movement" and the supporting statistics?

I was unable to get over the title to this post. Can someone eliminate my confusion through illumination, possibly by using the element "obsolite" before it becomes obsolete? :-)

LMFAO
Actually, if they just made the quarters out of obsolite, the cost versus value would flip to the positive.
Is obsolite is luminescent?

You've got to accentuate the positive, illuminate the negative

A joke or an extremely misguided suggestion. The quarter is the workhorse of our pocket change.
This sheds some light...
I'd expect to see moronic (and poorly written) posts like these from various social media spambots, but not so much here. It doesn't even qualify as a lousy joke due to the addled writing
Next time, make a cupcake without the moron sprinkles on top. Thanks.

One must not disdain such a learned post.
Whereas, the_ illuminati_ has pontificated that no quarter shall be shown to the quarter, perhaps the quarter shall be quartered, deleterious to the very existence of the nickle nickel, harbinging forsoth, a return to a quieter year of 14 quarter moons, being as such the realm shall use pieces of eight, yea, quartered quarter, which lacks any cents forthwith.
The ONLY reason I opened this thread was to read the responses making fun of the OP's use of obsolete and eliminate. Was not disappointed. LOL
Nothing worse than a half-assed pinball player.
Every time I see my quarters they are illuminated. Tough to see them in any other light. But the quarter is not the only coin I see being illuminated, I think they are all illuminated.

RE OP's comment: " It was suppose to be a one year type coin back in 1932."
False, as is most of the original post.
Did someone decide to change April Fool's Day to March 21st and we just didn't get the memo?
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
OMG, I just went down that internet youtube rabbit hole. Spent half an hour watching his videos, he has talent.
Ok, maybe keep the quarter (I haven't completely made up my mind: was going to start a Kickstarter campaign to promote this idea), how about instead we get rid of the half dollar. Outside of Las Vegas slot machines it isn't used that much. Keep the quarter and get rid of the half. Most cash register tills don't have the space anyways.
If we are successful as a group we can then go after the dollar coin and maybe gather the strength to attack the cent.
"Big Push to Illuminate The Quarter..."
Or maybe the intent was to add lights to the quarter? And a push button for on/off? Light up the eagle's eyes? Maybe the stars will twinkle?
Hear ye! Hear ye!
@abcde12345 is surely pulling our collective legs.
(I hope.)
I got here too late. You will have to eliminate me on what's going on.

We may need to irradiate it before we illuminate it.
no offense intended and I hope I'm wrong, but have you been drinking??
Congress has the power to illuminate them
NO..............The Illuminati does.

In this case it's more likely a troll road.

Is no one bother to consider the quarters painted with fingernail polish probably contain led and are a hazard? especially so for small children who swallow them. The medical needs of our youth should be considered over the value of pop machine conveniance. Soda's not good for you anyways.
I never knew led was hazardous. I'm learning a lot from this thread.

Neither is biting your fingernails after you painted them.

Must still be on a bender .....
That how they are lit, with LEDs
.
If fingernail polish is filled with "led" or even "lead", don't you think it would first be an issue for the people who actually use it on their fingernails?
I am convinced that user ID abcde12345 is used by at least two people. Sometimes the posts almost make sense and are coherent, and sometimes they are like the posts on this thread.
