I don't think the quarter design is "largely forgotten". I had 7 of them in the last change can I took to the bank and I know there's at least one in the current can. It was a great design. I still have the ones I grabbed back then but maybe it's time to toss most of them back into the mix. I'm not sure if I ever ran into the half or dollar in circulation though.
I was on the "bicentennial committee" at our church as a student representative, senior in high school, where we organized stuff for our local event, and all the events surrounding the bicentennial were highly anticipated. I don't recall a lot of excitement over the coins though, but it's probably lost in the blur of all the other stuff like fireworks and ringing the old church bell.
