congratulations for completing the set! I started collecting them I don't know how many times, and then we'd need a couple bucks for gas or whatever and dip into the quarters. :oops:

A bit of trivia: the Ohio "P" quarter is the scarcest one. For some reason they made fewer of them than all the others.

Aren't 5 more coming out? For DC, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands?

Actually, six more. For all the aforementioned locations, plus the Northern Marianas Islands.

My 50 State Quarter Collection has spaces for both the Philadelphia and Denver mints. I have at least one of every state except for Alaska and Hawaii which just came out.

This really has been a great way to get back into coin collecting again. I really like how they are honoring all of the states and the other six locales. It's a great history lesson as well.

Congratulations on finishing your collection! :D

I am missing a few in each of my kids' books. I keep a list on the fridge and go through my change every so often hoping to find them; the sad part is that their grandmother gave each grandchild one of each quarter; but my kids never got them into the books LOL.

BTW, we have books that look much like the one you pictured, and the quarters keep popping out; I have resorted to pounding the coins in their spaces :grrr: How did you get the coins to stay in??

:uarrow: No, they don't fall in mine. They remain in place.

I want to put the book in something like a Ziploc bag so it doesn't get dusty and wears down.

:oops: :oops: Embarassingly, I have no idea where ours is for sure. We may have given it to one of the kids or may have ended up spending them. :oops: :oops:
