We had been trying to gather all the state quarters in the series begun in 1999. My dad had helped us some, and even had given Eli a collecting book to help get him started. We were doing pretty well until we moved and then got behind. Every now and then we find a more recent quarter and are able to add it.
We actually have two collections going. The plan is to complete both and keep one, but trade the other (full of Philadelphia Mint coins) with someone who has a complete set of Denver Mint coins.
But then I happened across a US Virgin Islands quarter last week. No place for that in our folders! And today I had time to poke around and learned that this year (2009) there is a whole new mini-series of five "DC & US Territories Quarters." Yikes! In addition to the USVI coin I found there are already quarters for DC, Guam, American Samoa and the Marshall Islands.
Reckon we'd better get busy!

I've now found the American Samoa quarter. Still have gaps in the initial 50-state series!
