For a decade now, every time that I purchase something with cash, I excitedly look at the change placed in my hand.
I look to see if I got one of the new state quarters.
Five times a year, I was rewarded and I saw a brand new and shiny new quarter.
I would put the quarter in a separate pocket and take it home to put into my special quarter map.
I was so nuts with this that I actually have two quarter maps -- one for Philadelphia mint quarters and one for Denver mint quarters...
The other day though... I realized that my decade of fun and excitiement -- no matter how nerdy -- is coming to an end.
There are only two quarters left in Alaska and Hawaii.
The U.S. Mint struck a goldmine with this promotion and I had a good time with it.
As much as I am going to also participate in the Gold Presidential Dollar Coins promotion, it won't be as much fun as the quarters.
