[QUOTE="Hairy Houdini, post: 25586167, member: 97506"]My 9-year-old grandson happened to notice a president's name on a quarter. He asked about it. We went to the US Mint website and found the page about the commemorative quarters. Now he wants to see how many he can collect. As I understand it, there are 50 state quarters, 6 US Territories, about 56 in the America the Beautiful set about the national parks, and 5 each year since 2022 in the American Women set. So that's 50+56+6+15 = 127 so far, but 5 more women coins are lferady planned for 2025. Is that correct? After a little research, I think I'll get him a binder to keep them in and a magnifying glass (loupe?) to see them up close. Some sites also recommend some gloves for handling them. I would appreciate any comments on these accessories and any I should add. Also any recommendations for the binder, the magnifying glass, etc. There are so many options. Is there a binder that has pages for the 127 coins so far and space for the additional women coins? Thanks for the help[/QUOTE]
