I finally finished!
our state quarter collection!
Those of you that are fellow collectors know that it has been 9 long years of searching through change to find the next special quarter. My husband always laughed at me because I would get sooo excited when I found one. To him, it was just a quarter.
What started out as a project to do with the children, ended up as my project. They lost interest long ago. Of course they would want to see the new quarter every time, but they certainly did not go looking for it. But, in their defense, 9 years is a long time. My youngest dd wasn't even born, my 9 yo son just born, my dd only 2, and my older boys only 4 and 6. So you see how it might be hard to keep their interest for 9 years!
Needless to say - our collection is complete. Now I will start collecting the 5 territories that will come out this year and begin on the presidential series also starting this year.
At this rate, I will probably be old and gray ans still collecting quarters. But it is fun, so why not! Not to mention, a cheap hobby. So, why not start your own collection? You might be surprised at how much fun it is.
