When did they stop putting the date on quarters?

and national park quarters

Wow! National park quarters? I haven't carried cash or change in I don't know how long. I'll have to check those out.

I have a great new joke but it's too much for a forum post.

 

[John Connor]

I know a joke that's part riddle, myth, fable, and enigma all in one..

I hate the new emotes


And HAHAHAHA so I'm not on ignore.

You thought I was serious? I don't keep lists.

 

[BurnItDwn]

They only have the year. I do not believe they ever put the dates on coin currency in the USA.

Yeah, they suck. I don't bother with them anymore. Haven't seen one I like.

I meant year, not date.

And I like the old quarters with the side bust of Washington in big relief. The new quarters look like subway tokens, bland. Anyway, I never carry coins in my pockets anymore, I just save them up and make rolls out of them and bring those to the bank every few years.

@Muse , did you quote me and then delete it? My notifications said you did and I wanna know if this is a forum glitch so that I can report it. The notifications are shit on here. Some just drop off.

 

[highland145]

No, you just want to be quoted. It didn't happen.

IIRC, the Treasury Dept has made billions off these special edition quarters. My daughter has all the state ones, and is currently collecting the new ones.

I collected the original states for my daughter, but I'm not keeping up with this crap. I don't want to waste the space collecting coins that aren't that interesting. I like the new penny a lot, but pennies shouldn't exist. If they made them any cheaper, they wouldn't exist.

How does the treasury make money off of printing coins and then people taking them out of circulation so the treasury has to print more?

If I can remember correctly. The Treasury is charged with making money, I mean for profit as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_State_Quarters

"The 50 State Quarters Program was started to support a new generation of coin collectors,[1][2] and it became the most successful numismatic program in history, with roughly half of the U.S. population collecting the coins, either in a casual manner or as a serious pursuit.[3] The U.S. federal government so far has made additional profits of $3.0 billion from collectors taking the coins out of circulation.[4]"

The US MInt manufactures coins for less than their face value. They "sell" them to the Federal Reserve at face value. The profit is called seigniorage. So 7 cents cost to manufacture a quarter, sell to Fed for 25 cents, that's how they make money on everyday coinage. Of course coins made for collectors cost more to make and package, and they sell them directly to the public at a very healthy profit also.

It's different for paper money, I believe the Bureau of Engraving and Printing "sells" the currency they print to the Fed at their cost.

Best dating advice ever.

I'm down for quarter dating! Could finally afford it!
