Isn’t it more likely they disappeared due to only being produced over the span of two years while the total quarter population draws from roughly the last 50 years? [There are a little over 1.6 billion bicentennial quarters out there.](http://typesets.wikidot.com/bicentennial-qrtr) [Roughly the same number of “Virginia” quarters were minted in 2000](http://www.coinworld.com/StateQuarters/Mintages.aspx) ---

I don’t know about “disappeared,” but they are relatively rare now. I get a bicentennial quarter (with the drummer on the reverse) back as change maybe a couple of times a year.
