<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1578038, member: 4626"]Actually I just pulled ahead of you lol... out of curiosity I searched the unopened roll I still had left over and found an Olympic (Washington state) quarter and a Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) quarter (both 2011-D).</p><p><br /></p><p>So they're out there... I don't think they're so much rare as they're buried under the billions of older quarters still in circulation. I'm not sure what they do at Philadelphia, but the Denver Mint's gift shop has a machine that dispenses the newest National Park quarter (they did this for the state quarter series and DC/territories too); I think some people end up spending their extras and this is probably where most of them actually came from. Currently the Federal Reserve is getting more quarters back from banks than the number they're asking for so it makes sense the ATB quarters are relatively rare in circulation atm. Besides these 3 ATB quarters the most recent quarter I've personally seen is a 2009 American Samoa quarter, but I'm not the best sample lol as I spend cash quite rarely.

Quarters circulate more thoroughly than pennies do (they mint more pennies, but quarters get actually USED more often) so you should see them more often, eventually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
