[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 3609972, member: 105098"]Good Cents that's difficult questions to answer. Reasons being, it's really up to the armored carriers and where they are with current stock levels and if they practice FIFO or just grab whatever is in front of them and start rolling. Some areas could be immediate while other areas are sitting though a back log of circulated quarters or 2018s still or Lowell still which don't have the Ws. In my area I didn't see the Marianas Island boxes with the Lowell W's yet. I did find Marianas with Marianas Ws, still haven't even seen a Guam P. We went from Marianas W rolls to circulated rolls or whole boxes of Lowell Ps or whole boxes of 2018 Voygeurs here which has been my past 5 weeks of 2 boxes a week. I'm sure they are with the armored carriers waiting for them to get to them just gotta stay vigilant and keep looking. I have found a couple of the first two designs Ws in circulated mixed rolls though. When I did the math based on 2017 and 2018 minting figures of each design I got something like 125K boxes of quarters per design to distribute or 250 million coins roughly. Might take a while for the armored carriers to get to them depends on demand for quarters really and how fast they go through their inventory or if they decide to jump the stock line and just put out a new pallet instead of rerolling circulated. Each bulk bag pallet from the mint is 200k quarters. That's 100 boxes per bulk bag pallet or roughly 1250 bulk bag pallets per design for 2 million W quarters to be distributed though times 5 designs. That's a whole lot of bulk bags, and boxes. just when they come out in your area is the only unknown. I know at the start they were trying really hard to send them to the fed reserve cities as well as other major u.s. cities in the hopes they would circulate further. My state got Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville for instance but I haven't seen anything on what cities would get coins since the beginning of it. Might want to find out if your state has a fed reserve office or satallite office in one of the cities and maybe take a search of banks or businesses around there, a day journew to fish around to see if newer quarters are around there or do a little research on where the armored carriers are located in your state. There's also a 2nd factor at play here. I've found banks in residential areas don't order much new coin, the customers turn in coins more often than take them. Commercial area banks with business demand tend to order more frequently coin. Say banks near restaurant districts or bars or retail for instance would have more need for ordering coins than banks in neighborhoods with lots of houses, yet big stores like Walmart and stuff like that have their own armored carrier services and get their own change delivered which is why a lot of finds I've seen have been from walmart, target, home depot, big supermarket chains ect. Good luck.[/QUOTE]
