I didn't know that either. We don't see a lot of the $1.00 coins at work, but I'm glad they changed them from silver to gold, because I think quite a few people handed them over thinking they were quarters. But it will be interesting to see them as they come out.
And the quarters series branched out to the U.S. possessions, like Guam and The Virgin Islands. Nice to see our tax dollars hard at work!
There was a controversy over the DC quarter. They didn't want the District's motto ("Taxation without Representation") on it because it was "too political." I didn't think a fact could be political. LOL
They won; it's something innocuous with Duke Ellington.
