State Quarters Wearing Thin?
Lately I've seen quite a few first and second year quarters in my change and almost all of them are in AU to BU condition.
An occasional one here or there usually doesn't get my attention but I've been getting them as change in almost every transaction. I even went on a business trip to the mid west (Kansas) and was getting the same thing in my change.
Seeing so many quarters has led me to a question, "Are State Quarters wearing thin?"
Are speculative collectors finally cashing in their uncirculated rolls of quarters now that they are discovering their collecting value is about face value? or are these simply rolls that the Fed are just releasing?
Not sure what the right answer is but I did find it interesting to note.
