<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzjamesHorse, post: 2111107, member: 73793&quot;]This might be the most stupid question ever asked...but....</p><p>I am not really a coin &quot;collector&quot;....except of Ireland.</p><p>But having visited USA for first time in 2013 (aged 60) and handling cents, dimes, nickels andquarters for the first time....having seen them in movies and TV for over fifty years....I do kinda have an interest.</p><p>They seem easily available in flea markets etc.</p><p>But I noticed an odd thing on Friday at a market stall. </p><p>Coins costing 15 pence. Or 10 for £1 ....The box included quarters and I must say that I like quarters...a nice size and typical of USA.</p><p>So I end up with ten quarters of different dates 1960s thru 1990s and I have bought them for £1.</p><p>So I presume all these quarters still have a minimum face value of 25 cents (they dont go out of circulation?).</p><p>So thats a good &quot;exchange rate&quot;.....$2.50 for £1</p><p>Now I am not suggesting I fill my suitcase with Quarters and then on my next visit to USA exchange them for dollars in a Wells Fargo branch...for a start it would take me a long time to gather 400 quarters.</p><p>But is this ....even possible?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
