I have no clue why, but I feel richer when there's a state quarter in my hand as opposed to an old quarter. Do you feel the same?

lol, it sounds weird, but I do feel like I have more money in my hand! lol
And like when you have a dollar bill you feel like its worth more than four quarters. |

I think it's because they are more valuable than old ones. Like many years from now supposedly they will be worth money...

Hehe seriously, it makes you feel like that?
 I don't know. A quarter is worth twenty-five cents to me - new or old.

I don't feel that its worth more, I just like to have them compared to the older ones. |

My mother has this thing about collecting them, and when we go buy something and she gives change, she looks if its a valuable quarter before she gives it in.

The state quarters are actually 25.361 cents. Making them worth more than the odl 25.001-cent quarters.

The older ones are more valuable obviously. You could sell them if they're old enough for big bucks; but of course, the new ones are cleaner and shinier.

It's because they have pretty pictures on the back you can marvel at. Plus they're shinier than the OLD ones.

Doesn't make a difference to me.
But the old quarters would be worth a lot of money a few years from now. |

right now i'm looking for the wisconsin one; cuz well... http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/09/pf/wisconsin_quarter/ "A mistake in the minting process for some quarters issued last year is putting coin collectors in a frenzy. Speculators are bidding up prices for the recently discovered pieces from their 25-cent face value to nearly $1,500." |
