Frankly I think the National Park quarter dollar if it becomes reality will be a good thing. For no other reason than drawing non collectors to the hobby. Kids in particular may be drawn into the joy of collecting. I believe the change could be beneficial!

I remember when beanie babies where huge and then people quickly lost interest when they started releasing so many, people just stopped caring. |

Hey hold on there I have many sealed bags of beanie babies from my now older daughters and your telling me they wont come back and be valuable? OH NO!
Yes I believe many kids and adults will come and go from many hobbies coin collecting included. However, putting coins out to the public with a difference draws attention and hopefully interest if not for a long time even the short time is good. Who knows maybe they stick around. I just think change in "change" can be a good thing.

I remember that me and my sister estimated that our beanie baby collection was worth around $3,500(we didn't spend that much) based on a price guide they had. While I have good memories going on these hunts with my dad and sister, I kinda wish we invested into coins.

While I have good memories going on these hunts with my dad and sister, I kinda wish we invested into coins  I would much rather have several coins than the beanie babies. The thing is my daughters would have nothing to do with those old boring quarters so I had to buy the beanie babies. Now if those quarters where of National Parks well then who knows maybe I would have bags of quarters instead of beanie babies. My point exactly  |

There are many wonderful National and State Parks that are worthy of being put into coinage.....some already have of course......but the discussion about doing EVERY state is where it loses me.

I've been thinking about that Jackie Robinson commemorative coin. They did baseball, but if you wanted to commemorate a milestone in the sports of say, American football, or basketball, who would be on those coins? Perhaps I should be in another area, or start a new thread. But if Jackie broke the race barrier in baseball, were their similar feats of greatness in football and basketball? How about Joe Namath guiding the Jets to the first-ever AFL victory? But it has to be about more than sports. It has to involve a change in national consciousness to stand head to head with the Jackie Robinson.

I think if they do continue the State Quarter series they should do the minor us territories like wake, midway, palmyra ect. That way people could learn more about them. I think if you do another 10 years it will be quite rediculous like canadian quarters are getting to be to many commemratives to count. |
