[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1335021, member: 68"]Wow. Talk about coincidence. I just happened to have a few rolls of quarters sitting around so I went through them. I didn't notice that they've been culling the coinage thelast few years. I guess I was too close to it to really see. There was only a single coin that was bad enough it might be rejected by a finely tuned counter. It was a 1980-D with a heavy punch in the center of the obverse that distorted it a little. There are a lot of culls which affect about 10% of the '99 and later and nearly 40% of the pre-1979. These are the minor culls though rather than the big problems. Perhaps most telling is 55% are states issues. A mere 44.8% are the old eagle reverse coins! This is the biggest percentage of the new coins I've ever seen and might imply that they really are trying to clean up the circulating coins.
