2 but none recently.
If you consider bank boxes circulation yes, a lot. If you consider pocket change, no.

Put me down for zero.
In actual change, maybe 3 or 4.
Including rolls and boxes...approaching 100.

1 in the wild gotten at Chic Filet (sp?) LAX airport. That was a surprise and only because unusually I used cash to buy my son some fast food.
It was the "War in the Pacific" and quite nice, perhaps of MS 65 quality and of course kept it. I then filled in the others with nice quality coins from the BST.
Well, just Love coins, period.
Not one at all. Joeykoins has them all.😀
Twenty maybe a few more I've never actually counted them, all found in change except for one that I traded with another forum member for. Many are the Am Memorial coin, and several of the bat coins.

None, I check all the time too

None of which I'm aware. And I do check, including four years ago when I decided I wanted a complete set of state and national parks quarters from circulation, and went through a couple hundred rolls of quarters (found almost every one of the P and D version, but never a W. My unscientific observation is that only Denver coins reliably find their way to Seattle in numbers; I had to get my sister in Maryland to send me a few score rolls of quarters to get most of the Philadelphia versions.

No. None.
Just one.
.
None.
I'm thinking this W thing is unfortunately done. From what I see, the ones being found in circulation are pretty much beat up. I suppose there could still be some mint state rolls at some banks out there.

I found one - it stood out dramatically from the rest of the change I was handed. That was about a year ago and was almost in mint state so I was fortunate.

Nope. Just finished a load from the bank.

No, there are too many eagle-eyed cherrypickers before me. ....but I have submitted a few and still own an MS67 Marsh Billings, having sold all the others on eBay, of course.
Way to go U.S. Mint. They create excitement.

24 currently. I have found all but the 2019 RNR and the 2020 MBR. 11 of them are 2020 bat quarters.
I believe that @ricko found one in the coinstar before he passed.

zero, none, and I look every time I get change.
This one around Nov 2020 ended up a PCGS MS66

I can’t believe I have never found one in change. I probably should have done some searching from banks when they were released.
Yes sir. Found this one in the cash register of my retail Job 4 years ago.
Well, they circulated from the trunk of my car, to my desk, to the coin sorting machine at my credit union (which doesn't charge a fee to deposit loose change - in bulk!) I've found 2 or 3 but tossed 'em in my "miscellaneous" box. I guess I oughta go take a closer look and see if they're worth slabbing.

The distribution of these things apparently didn't go as planned. I believe they were somehow suppose to be evenly distributed throughout the country. That never happened. Some areas of the country got them all, others received nothing.
The guys lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time, that got boxes from banks hit the lottery!

Squeeze the staples!!!!
Someone on one of the forums found one
metal detecting recently.
I have never found any.
Two, one when I asked for change for a dollar. One nice, one beat.
Got 1 in my change from grocery store 2 weeks ago
None, but like some others I rarely use cash.
I found 24 of them in brand new rolls from my grocery store, that was back when the hunt was on. Two of them came back 66 early finds.
What state are you located in @Coinscratch?

Texas!
I went to the service desk at HEB where they sold me 5 or 6 rolls. After finding a few in those rolls I went back a couple more times until they cut me off. In total maybe 25 rolls so I was at the right place at the right time.
Hmmm, Texas. Okay, thanks. I was initially thinking the north east. Brand new mint rolls. Interesting.
It's way after the fact now but just trying to get a feel for where they were distributed.

Thanks @OAKSTAR for refreshing my mind on how the mint distributed theses quarters. I do recall quite a bit discussed here on the forum, many members not finding one for a couple of years. I think it took Ricko some time as well. I still check my change hoping for one.
I actually sent Ricko a few a couple of years ago before his passing. There was some guy here once, I think his name was Fredo or something. He didn't like other guys and guys like me finding his W quarters! 🤣 😂

4 "W's" and one "S" in circulation.....
I have six 64s and one 65 left if anyone wants one just PM me with a reasonable offer.
Edit: Sold.
I believe Ricko had mentioned in a posting that you had sent him a couple. That was very nice of you @OAKSTAR.
My wife got one from an Aldi shopping cart. It is currently MIA and I am afraid it was spent.
That would be me and I sold all but the first one I found which was a Lowell. I had thousands.
