"regular" Washington Quarter Bicentenial Quarter 55 state/territory quarters 20 (4 years) ATB quarters (actually, I'm not sure if all of the 2013's have actually been released yet)
<< <i>Good question. I'll quickly guess, considering all old coinage too, 50! I averaged about 4 in every denomination. >>
50 would cover the statehood quarters alone. Add 7 for the territories and all the ATB quarters and all the various designs in the other denominations you're talking close to double that amount.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Different is the key word! Yes,your right! What was I thinking? I'll change my answer to 150. ( Sorry,only one answer to an contestant.)

128. WOW. Just think about all the dates and mintmarks involved and simply putting together a set of all circulating current coins would be a Herculean, though inexpensive, collecting task.
My friend run's a CiCi's pizza. With all the state / NP, etc quarters now, his cashiers really do not have any idea what a quarter is supposed to look like on the back side. When someone pays for their meal in quarters, and has stacks of them on the counter, and there is a long line of people waiting to pay, a lot of other stuff is getting through. French Francs are common, German Marks, Italian Lira, and then the British Caribbean coins.
The sorter kicks them all out, and he is stuck with a revenue loss.
Wait a minute. I just thought, if your talking "different", then,all Proofs,all,d minted,all p minted,all s minted,all business strikes,all satin finish... All these would have to come into play! WoW! Then were talking probably around 400-500 different U.S. coins in circulation today.WoW! Am I right?

A lot more than that.
Throw in the varieties and there are even more.
Back in the mid-'60's it was only five new coins a year. It seemed it would take forever before there was any variety in circulation.
You could subtract dollars which were only available from the mint and add in wheats, buffalos, etc. >>
I agree with everything except the Ike and the Bicent Ike. The large dollars do not circulate any more. I give them out as tip money, but you cannot order them from a bank. You can order small dollars.

It SEEMS like this would be good for beginners but I just don't know. Maybe it's too overwhelming. I think if I was a kid just starting out it would be fun just looking for all the different state quarters. They will never be worth much but neither are most of the wheaties I saved 45 years ago.

I don't think we can count most of the dollars. just the Sacs and Susans. If you can take a $1 bill to the bank and get a $1 coin, I will count it.
Has anyone gotten a President coin in change? Or, an Ike?
Since the OP did not restrict the count to US coins, there are certainly Canadian, Bahama, UK, etc coins circulating. I was at a car wash in Rochester one time and when I got 50c in change I got 2 Canadian Quarters. I did not accept them.

Bicentenial Quarter
55 state/territory quarters
20 (4 years) ATB quarters (actually, I'm not sure if all of the 2013's have actually been released yet)
So maybe more like 77 quarters?
