<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 3710681, member: 107016&quot;]Not sure if anyone has noticed this lately, but there are a lot of really old quarters out in circulation right now that look virtually new.&nbsp; I go through my pocket change daily looking for oddities and lately I&#039;ve been running across 1965 through 1976 quarters that look like they&#039;ve not been in circulation hardly at all.&nbsp; I&#039;m curious as to why this is and if anyone else has noticed this as well.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing that perhaps many people horded large volumes of quarters starting in 65&#039; and then just recently started using them.&nbsp; It&#039;s not uncommon for me to run across, for example, a 1965 quarter that looks in near mint condition in my pocket change.&nbsp; That&#039;s over 50 years old.&nbsp; When I was a kid collecting coins 20 years ago, I&#039;d never find coins in this great of shape that were even 20 years old.&nbsp; Or, are financial institutions just starting to put into circulation older coins, in this example, the US quarters,&nbsp; that they&#039;ve had stored for decades?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
