State Quarters - the Thrill is Gone

I just realized that I have no idea what state we are up to now, and I haven’t checked out the back of a quarter in a while.

::sniff:: another part of my youth gone. ::sniff::

For me the thrill is diminished considerably by the fact that, for all their exciting newness, you have to give up one of them (or maybe two) to get a few minutes at the air pump, at a gas station. 25 cents for a puff of air…and that’s our largest circulating coin, apart from the Golden Dollar you see once in a blue moon! How much further will the pauperization of our currency system go?

With that said, I really do enjoy seeing the different backs. The last one I saw was Virginia’s, and it shows a couple of sailing ships.

After the States series is completed, if they go back to the tired old eagle on the branch, I will refuse to accept them.
