[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1317873, member: 28451"]Sales of the ATB pucks have pretty much fallen off of a cliff as of late. As we know, there are a number of reasons to dislike the program. 1. The 2010 bullion release fiasco. 2. The ridiculous "Quarter Dollar" denomination for a 5-ounce silver coin (it seems somebody really had their head up their donkey there.) 3. It is not respresentative of America the Beautiful, but a politically-correct America The Beautiful as it was mandated each state had to be represented. In effect, it is a state quarter program redux and does not represent the 50 most beautiful public places in America. If it did, Crater Lake and the Grand Tetons would definitely have been represented. 4. The quarters are difficult to find in circulation and therefore it is difficult to generate cross-over sales from the quarter to the pucks if people don't even get to see the quarters. 5. To collect both versions of each puck demands an investment of at least $2,000.00 per year. What do you think? Should the program be put out of its misery or should it be allowed to continue with its current poor quality of life?[/QUOTE]
