always wondering other peoples opinion on them.
STOP! That is my opinion.
State Quarters was a novel idea, then they add the DC and territories, then they want to do it with 56 more coins on top of Pre$, SAC/NAs... in 2021 there will be 118 circulating quarter designs in the USA. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
They want to complain about the cost of the penny and how "nobody uses them" because they are just "storing them away somewhere" but what do you think happens when they try to turn a coin into a collector series? Did they think people weren't going to "store them away somewhere" when part of the gimmick for the
State Quarters was to invigorate the coin collecting product market? over half the shelf space currently for coin collecting products is State and
ATB products! How much did it cost for those engraves and sculptors for all those molds and designs?
Want less coins "stores away and not spent" then you shouldnt have made 15 a year over 20+ years when 3 a year would have sufficed! The US Mint makes a killing off of them with the new "invigorating collectible items" they sell with them since the
State Quarters. Year sets, $10 rolls for $20 + S&H, weird little sets here and there that otherwise they wouldn't have had had the quarters not had so many designs. Yet these numbers aren't recorded when they complain "the penny costs too much to make" as the Mint still makes a killing in profit on ALL its coin product sales!
When you combine all these factors the State and
ATB are at the center of lies and fraud the Mint gives to the US public AND congress!
Really do we need 118 designs on a quarter for cashiers to have to memorize and be accountable for when most of them probably don't know about the dollar coins or even half dollars still existing as spendable money? That level of knowledge is well above their pay grade and qualifications for a simple CASHIER! So most just don't care and more coin related policies exist now because of and since the State/ATB quarters where they don't even want to deal with any coins quicker than just waiting for everyone to transition to plastic/electronic money.
I call them hogwash! But that is just my opinion, now excuse me while I check my pocket change for a Bombay Hook to fill a hole in my folder so I can have at least every circulating coin design released in my lifespan.
