Although I have gathered the ridiculous redesigns from 1999 to this year.
ENOUGH. IT's DONE, FINISHED. US coin collecting has officially been murdered. Kaput, done, over.

That was hasty. I mean, coin collecting after the turn of the century.
A redesign every 2-3 months SERIOUSLY cheapens the hobby and makes it feel like a cheap crappy BS money game. Cheap.

Okay, the Statehood Quarters were kinda cool. Even TEN YEARS, of redesigns. That's special! ONCE. Not in perpetuity, for crimminy's sake.

In my view, a lack of stability does NOT lead to MY interest in collecting.
When there's a new friggin' coin design every few months, sorry, but that blows it away for me.

And yes, that has been going on for a quarter century, and yes, I've been objecting just as long. I've had it up to the gills with this B.S. and I'm content to end my collection before it began.

In direct opposition to what others have said, I believe this crap is harmful to the hobby. Gone are the days when an album covered 60 years, and now it might cover a decade. Screw it!

You'll get little argument from me on those points, Vector Ze.

There are now so many circulating-commemorative quarters and dollar coins out there so as to make completion of a set something of a daunting task and possibly too much of financial commitment for the new collectors they're supposedly trying to bring into the hobby. Worse yet, the lack of aesthetic and artistic merit of many of the issues makes it an often-boring pursuit, as well.

The circulating commemoratives could have logically been limited to the 1976 Bicentennial issues, the 50-state quarters, 2009 Lincoln cents, and 2026 Semiquincentennial issues. As they say in show business: "Leave 'em wanting more!"

But no, that's not how it's going to go down. We'll undoubtedly see multi-year runs of State Flowers, First Ladies, State Birds...if they look to the Postal Service for inspiration, it could go on forever. And as we've already seen with philately, having too many new issues to collect every stinkin' year ruins it for many a collector.
