Since the 'state quarters' came out, I've saved every one I ever got in change. I've got a bunch, and figured I must have one from every state by now. Plus, it's fun to hope that maybe you got a rare one, like the mis-minted Pennsylvania.

Then ChrisBenschoter pointed out that some are from the Denver (D) mint, and others are from the Philadelphia (P) mint! Now I have something new to obsess over.

Notes:

  • According to the mint Philadelphia and Denver mint around the same quantity of quarter coins
  • I lived in Chicago up until late 1999, this may explain why I have so many Delaware coins, for instance

So I sorted through all my quarters and here's the (P) quarters that I have...

State Mint Year Qty
Delaware 1999 5
Pennsylvania 1999 3
New Jersey 1999 1
Georgia 1999 0
Connecticut 1999 5

Massachusetts 2000 5
Maryland 2000 2
South Carolina 2000 1
New Hampshire 2000 3
Virginia 2000 4

New York 2001 3
North Carolina 2001 2
Rhode Island 2001 0
Vermont 2001 1
Kentucky 2001 1

Tennessee 2002 0
Ohio 2002 0
Louisiana 2002 0
Indiana 2002 1
Mississippi 2002 0

Illinois 2003 0
Alabama 2003 0
Maine 2003 0

Here's the official web site with circulation figures...interesting how they've cut down on the minting amount as time has gone on.

Here's some info on the mis-minted quarters!
