"New state quarters to be issued in '10" by Associated Press | April 3, 2009
OKLAHOMA CITY - Collected quarters from all 50 states?
Now you'll have the chance to do it all again.
Yeah, government definitely has money to waste on this, doncha think, 'murkn?
If I got a quarter, I'm spending it.
Yeah, let's foster that mindless and unquenchable consumerism in people so they waste money and time collecting things. That's not to say collecting things is bad (I have my own); however, when it is FOISTED UPON YOU as a FOCUS by an AGENDA-PUSHING, CORPORATE-CONSUMERIST MEDIA, then it needs to be questioned.
Btw, who is going to pay for the studies to be done, plates to be made, etc, etc? You don't mind, do you, taxpayers?
In 2010, the US Mint will begin producing quarters showing a national site from each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia and each US territory - Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. George Washington's image will be on the other side.
Governors are being asked to recommend sites for representation on the quarter. The US Treasury will make the final decision on designs, which are to be announced later this month.
Last year, the US Mint completed its 10-year state quarter program, which it called the most popular coin program in history. Quarters were issued in the order each state joined the union, with five releases a year at intervals of about 10 weeks.
The new program, created under "America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008" will also release five new quarters per year. They will be issued in the order in which each site was first established as a national site.So THIS is what CONGRESS is DOING?
