Alaska Quarters

And to think that I was so happy to get my first Alaska Quarters from circulation in my change today.

A report like that from Conder101 really puts things in perspective.
Denver gets tons of new quarters added to circulation constantly. I go to 7-11 today and the quarters in their drawer were all Alaskas (from opened BU bank rolls). New "D" State Quarters are not at all unusual to receive in change around here once they get out of the Fed. and into the banks. Once you see one of a new design, that's a sure sign that you'll be seeing a lot more of them in short notice!

Hexencent may be in an area like Conder101's where Quarters just don't circulate as much as certain large cities and the banks have plenty of old quarters in the vaults.

Even in Denver (home of a major production Mint facility) there is still a few weeks 'lead time' between the start of the mintage and when the banks get them from the Federal Reserve.

I live in western Colorado, and it was weeks before area banks had Alaska Quarters.

I bought two rolls, simply because I wanted to give some away, and I like them -- one of my favorite Statehood Quarters.

I got my one roll from the bank......and then half a dozen singles for the albums.......I'm good.......happy......
Although.....since it's my favorite design and favorite state.....I thought of getting another roll or two.....just because !!...
