In 1999 I started collecting the 50 States Quarters Collection and for the
past 10 years, each year they released 5 State Quarters and as you went
collecting them you put them on the United States of America map that
the quarter corresponds to the State. I finally finished my collection.
I also have the Certificate of Authenticity to go with it.
Here are some pictures...

That is a very cool collection & the folder the coins go in is very well designed too.

I collect the Euro coins which isn't so easy to get all of. Each country has different backs to their coins & with more countries starting to use the Euro it's hard not to lose track of which coins are out there :rolling:

Congrats, Smurfsterocks on completing the set :D

I have a complete set as well and am working on my second one. It's really fun and was interesting to see what motif every state picked :) :) :)

Are you working on the Presidents now? :cheers:

Thanks Tojo and Smurfysmurf.

I don't know yet but they are offering me the Presidential Dollar coins
in a way that if I pass it up, I know I will never get it like that again.
The 2 Mint Presidential Dollar coins (P & D coins) and the Album and
sheets to keep them in. They will also have a stamp to go with the
President for that same coin. So I am really thinking about this one.

I have that exact same map too, Smurfster...how funny. There are tons of different ones out there but this was probably one of the few back in 1999. I still need 4 more quarters left to finish one set and I think 13 to finish my second set. My mom has taken the easy way out and just ordered a complete set and map for like $25 :) :)

I have that same map also. I only have about 10 quarters in it though. I had almost all the rest at the time. Some one broke into my house and stoled all the loose quarters but left the map.

And I thought I was the only one in the U.S. collecting these.
Congrats to those who finished the 50 State Quarters collecting
and to those who have not... Hurry! LOL.

I'm guilty as well...
I got my 5 quarters for every year in the mail. (Woo hooo, Go Mom!)

Looks like a great collection. We don't have anything like that here although the post office do release special coins from time to time. If anyone is interested in collecting those, let me know. :D

Hi smurfsterocks & Tojo. :cheers:

Congratulations on completing your coin collection. :D

I used to collect euro coins as well before I started collecting smurfs, now I don't have the money anymore. :-D

Thanks Everyone.

Must be fun to collect Euro coins as well.
I think the U.S. coins were easy to collect even if you didn't get them in
the mail. You just have to scrump through the change before you spent
the coin you need.

Here is my "book" for the Presidents Dollars. I really like it as it includes a booklet with some interesting facts about each Presidents...and it might be rare soon as I guess the new editions will include the new President :) :) :)

That looks fabulous!
I like the book as well as I know it must have plenty of information
of the President for that year.

There are those who believe that life here began out there...
