If your child swallows a quarter, the possibility of ingesting a trace amount of lead from fingernail polish is the least of your problems!

"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?
Another innovation that's been done already.
The following is a 2003 Palau coin so it could be slabbed, but then you couldn't press the coin to light it up!
The rarest Corvette model year now makes its debut on this officially-licensed 71 mg .925 silver clad commemorate colorized coin. The headlamps light up when the Corvette logo on reverse is pressed. Privately minted as non-circulating legal tender of the Republic of Palau. Comes with numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Standard 39 mm silver dollar size.

It gets real concerning when that child passes 2 dimes and a nickel.

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.
There are no 1/2 dollar slot machines in Las Vegas.........come visit and see for yourself.

I used to manufacturer LED's (Light emitting diodes). If you wired them backwards, they were DED's (Darkness Emitting Diodes) and we sold them to Black Sabbath, and KISS, Et Al.
Given the influence of the vending machine industry, I can't see that happening in 2020. The half dollar is dead. The dollar coin has no following. Cents, nickels and dime have no to little buying power. So long as vending machines need gem quality paper money to work, coins will continue. If you are ready to stick your credit or debit card in vending machines, remember what happens to too many credit cards that are used at gas stations.
In short, this prediction is premature.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I think it would be much neater if that coin from Palau, when pressed, not only lit up the headlights/taillights, but also revved-up like a Vette engine!! THEN I might even order one for my cousin - - a big-time Corvette aficianado.

Congress got upset with the Mint Bureau for running those, and put an end to them. That coincides with decreases in sales and increases in fakes and misleading private ads.

Stop it....you are killing me!!! My sides hurt from laughter. Every post gets worse......PLEASE STOP!!
Hell at the rate this current administration (if you can call it that) is creating debt we may be eliminating the dollar, tens, twenties and hundreds by the year 2020. Good news is our currency washes well so will at least retain value as toilet paper.

I was a "lurker," for many years around here. I never thought I had anything worthwhile to contribute. I still think the same thing. I started posting around 3 years ago. When I did start posting Abcdefgh12345 was "ON MY CASE!" Always ragging on me. Hey, it was all in fun. I liked it! MAN STUFF! The old timers here always bring up people from the past. This person, that person, was Soooo outrageous. Soooo funny! They are soooo missed! Well, abcdefgh12345 is that person today! ENJOY LIFE! We only get one chance at it. A JOKE IS A JOKE! LAUGH!!!!!

If my kids had passed 3 dimes and two nickels, they'd be on a straight diet of quarters, believe me.

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.
This is the clear winner! You rock, mustangmanbob!

Do the "Illuminati" manufacture light bulbs in the dark? Do they have cardinals in their "canary cages?"

The illuminati are making bank off those corvette coins, it's no wonder they want led illuminated quarters.
What do you press to light them up?
"Illuminate"......"LED"
For a thread with so much brightness it has a dim future.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

I knew you would like it. Miss seeing those US Mint TV commercials too like old George:
