From Indian Heads to the 50 State Quarters........Perhaps you collect foreign currency or have amassed rare $2 bills....talk about it here, then leave your address and a time you won't be home!

I've got a few of the new 50 State Quarters and have recently added New Jersey to the set. I had a $2 bill once, but it burnt a hole in my pocket. My brother collects 50 Cent pieces and I've continued the collection for myself. Love to find wheat pennies when I go through the penny jar.

The site outlines the projected schedule for the State Quarters as well as the new $1 coin due out next year. Betcha those Susan B. Anthony's are collectable!

Funny how frequently I run into people 'collecting' the new quarters...
they should be collecting the OLD ones that they'll eventually take out of circulation!
(BTW... i collect em too!)

Dear Fellow Hunter-Gatherers,
I would like to point out that for the more philosphical aspects concerning the US monetary environment, a good fortune hath bestowed upon this here our Spring a dedicated topic:
http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/public/read/cultures/25 ,
in which the charme and mechanics surrounding the objects of desire are discussed in length (err, no, I don't mean drool, though...).

BTW, I do collect Currencies, too. Please send me samples of your respective variety over.
I'm looking especially for bank notes (paper bills) with multidigit denominations. Thank you!

Oh. Maybe we could trade?
Say, I'll give you a crisp 100 Mark note, and you give me the same, just in what you people have?
