[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 4316539, member: 78298"]I seriously doubt, the demand on the mint over the last 21 years, was to produce (approx.) 50 billion quarters. Not even including S business strikes and proofs and silver poofs. There are probably almost enough quarters leftover from 1965-1998 to meet our day to day needs. While there are (330? million people in the US) let's say 250 million use quarters. That's 200 quarters for every person to keep in a jar over the last 21 years. How many of those get lost or destroyed? 3? No one needs 197 quarters (for business purposes) at any one time. And everyone has that many.[/QUOTE]
