[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2316431, member: 15588"]The series lost its luster long ago - which goes doubly true, both figuratively and literally, for the Presidential dollars. So pun only slightly intended. Most of the parks are probably obscure to people outside of the respective state or bordering states and there's no way to incorporate them into those little devices that happen to make phone calls that everyone carries around like an extra appendage. I have really liked some of the designs of the series and I have grabbed a few decent looking specimens from circulation, but I'm in no way enthralled by them. In one of the few references I've witnessed to the series in the general public, a co-worker came up to me one day and said "somehow I got a Chinese coin in change, look, it has a dragon on it." He then held up an Everglades ATB quarter. He was joking, of course, but so far this is the [I]only[/I] time anyone has spoken to me of this series. The state quarters were a novelty because American change had remained mostly static for decades. The novelty seems to have pretty much worn off for the general public by now, unfortunately.[/QUOTE]
