This wasn't enough for me though. When I first started, I wanted to collect an entire roll (40 quarters, or $10) per state. I quickly realized that this would take forever, so I downsized my goal to collect one roll per year, or 8 per state. I also wanted to collect an entire roll of the bicentennial design that came out in 1976. Over the past few days, I finished my goal:
So what's next? Well, they're continuing the program using US Territories, then National Parks, so my collecting days will continue. By luck of the draw, when we went to get quarters for laundry a few days ago, I got an entire roll of the Gettysburg National Park, allowing me to complete that particular one very quickly. But it's nice to be finished with the initial goal.

I was so excited to see this collection the other day!! When Spence and I were dating and I raved on facebook about how I only had 5 more quarters to collect for my 'one of each state' collection, his Mom mentioned Spencer had a collection too. I asked to see it and he said yea but it that it took some time to 'set it up'-- it was a little while later that I learned more about it and understood why... As another note, Spencer found the last quarter I needed for mine! He's lucky with these types of things :)
Collecting money has got to be a very worthwhile pursuit. Would love to see this next time I'm in LA!
