State quarters-out oof circulation???

I have several containers that I throw coins from pocket change into. Yesterday I pulled some old Deleware and New Jersey quarters out of one of them to spend. And I thought "When was the last time I got state quarters from 1999 or 2000 in circulation?"
I personally never see any state quarters from the first year or two or maybe three in circulation.
Why is this? Is it because of people collecting/hoarding them?
Just curious.

It must be where you live. I get a nice mix all the time and I seem to be finding a lot of Connecticut lately and a ton of Pennsylvania.

 

I almost never see any Delaware anymore, but it's not too uncommon to find Pennsylvania or later in circulation around here.

 

I just went through $300 in quarters and my son picked out all the statehood quarters and we got a nice pile from every state. I think you can find any state you want if you get enough rolls to start with.

 

I always get Delaware NJ, CT. They are very pleniful.

 

I do get a decent mix from rolls, but in change at the store I never get any old ones.

 

i get them all

 

I think you'll get them all for decades. Why save circ ones when people hoard BU rolls, I can't see the circs carrying a premium in my lifetime.

 

I saw EF ones for sale on a british site for 2.5 pounds!!

 

state quarters

state quarters were so plentiful. i don't collect them. collect nickels instead.

 

I get so many of them, all the time.

 

ditto. my son has a Harris State Quarter board - we were looking at it earlier this evening. he is missing South Dakota and Washington. my nickel collection from circulation is going well, as are my dimes.

State Quarters will never be worth gobs of dough, unless you're talking pizza.

Usually the last couple you need for a collection never show for a long time, at least that always happened to me.

 

i've actually heard somewhere that dealers are buying rolls of delaware, pennsilvania, and new jersey quarters. i doubt its a big premuim, but still rarer than all the others!
