[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 768257, member: 4626"]My mom echoed the same sentiment... she saved the state quarters for 10 years (she refused to mess with DC and the territories) and she doesn't want to do it again for another 11. I'll reserve judgement until I actually see them... I get each year's proof set anyway so I'll get them incidentally anyway... but I can see the point.
