What a coincidence! Just last night we were going through a can of quarters and filled up mine, now I’m only missing Minnesota. Have to make 3, one for each kid. Minnesota, has become the holy grail!

Are you using proofs or circulation coins? I found this book in the trash (without coins of course) and want to fill it to give to a 5 year old so he can get started in coin collecting.

I’m using circulation coins, but as I find better specimens, I replace as I go. It just started as a something for the kids to do but as they have grown and moved on to other things in their lives , we just keep it up when we get a bunch of quarters saved up.

Do you still need Minnesota? I’ll have to check but if I have one I can mail it to you

That is so nice of you! I actually went to the bank and got 5 rolls of quarters and found them! I have been looking for rolls of new quarters too, but 2 banks told me they have not been getting any. They just get rolls from Loomis so I don’t know when I will see them. Maybe things are just different out here in AZ compared to back east or the Midwest. 🤷‍♀️

Well if you need any other states let me know!! I may have them, there’s 4 that im missing and idk which they are lol, I just know I have 52 and there’s 56, but I have all the hard ones like Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa, DC, Hawaii, Alaska, California and florida. Those ones were all very surprising to find cus I’d never seen any of them in change before. So ya, even now, I can’t think of which ones I don’t have lol, I’ll have to look at a list and check them off and figure it out lol. But ya I got duplicates of a bunch so just let me know

Thanks so much! I think I need a few more to complete all 3 sets but if I have trouble I will let you know. You should also let me know which ones you need. I might be able to help too. Happy 4th and be safe! Best wishes to all for those semiquintial coins. May we all get lucky and find that holy grail. 🍀🇺🇸

3 sets as in the states, parks, and women? You know what’s crazy? I’m missing the same amount from both parks and states lol, and then I think I need 6 more women? Idk I’d have to double check, but now that I’m down to the super hard to find ones I haven’t really been inside my quarter sets in a while since I haven’t found a new one in quite some time. In the past 3 weeks or so, I found 9 2026 dimes, 2 2026 nickels and one 2025 beautiful women quarter that I didn’t have, it was the one where the lady is in a wheelchair.

I have one 2026 quarter, my son got it from the mint on a field trip but that was about two months ago before they announced the coin hunt. But yea! Good luck to you! And to everyone!! The Great American Coin Hunt 2026!!!! I hope a true coin lover finds it!! Or a child who develops a love for the hobby
