Quarter Hunt Ends At 'Hawaii'
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: October 14, 2008
NEW YORK - With a big aloha to Hawaii, a new generation of coin collectors will soon shut their books on the U.S. Mint's popular 10-year state quarter program full of fond family memories and a fun dose of history.
While not terribly rare, considering about 34 billion were produced, the commemorative quarters have captured the frenzied fancy of kids and their parents as they've drawn extended family, tip-collecting waitresses and friendly bank tellers into the hunt.
Come November, it will end with Hawaii as the last state honored, having fulfilled one of the government's goals - to ignite interest among young people in U.S. history, geography and coin collecting.
