<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1317947, member: 29751&quot;]I guess I&#039;m not sure if you are suggesting they scrap the ATB bullion pucks, or the quarter series all together?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the pucks are one of the most ridiculous things to ever come out of the mint, and I consider them novelty items, not numismatic items.&nbsp; As such, I am fine if they disband this program.&nbsp; But, I doubt they will because this is the arena where they rake in the dough.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the quarters themselves, I find the series somewhat boring.&nbsp; But &quot;commemorative-type&quot; circulating coinage makes a bigger profit for the US Mint in seignorage than does regular design issues.&nbsp; &quot;Collectors&quot; now have to continue the 5 designs a year and 2 mints = 10 coins collecting if they wish to maintain a collection of US Quarter Dollars.&nbsp; I fear this &quot;commemorative&quot; mentality may be endemic in the Quarter Dollar issues for the foreseeable future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
