Over the past few years I have been collecting the state quarters which started in 1999.
Every time I visit WDW I have my list with me and check my small change at every opportunity...sad I know!:rolleyes:
Anyhow, I need the ones from Delaware,Texas, California,Minnesota, Kansas and West Virginia to bring my collection up to date.
If anyone can help, I would gladly pay the postage and costs etc.

I need a Wisconsin, a Minnesota and an Oregon.

I have some other doubles - Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, Ohio off the top of my head if anyone's interested.

Don't hold me to this, but Kansas and West Virginia are 2005 releases, and might not be out yet - they release them throughout the year. I only have an extra Texas, right now if you're interested! The kids just cashed in our change bucket for vacation spending money a few weeks ago, so there aren't too many quarters floating around here right now!

I think you are right...in the news an armoured truck carrying newly minted West Virginia quarters flipped and spilled tons of them on the highway yesterday.. had to pick them up with a small skip loader! I'll bet they didn't get ALL of them:wink:

Thanks 2J`s Mom.
According to the schedule (http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_program/index.cfm?action=schedule), "Kansas" was due to be released on August 29th, but you are correct, so far no date has been set for the release of "West Virginia".

I've been collecting these for a long time. Pretty much since they started making them. I have one "mint condition" of each up to Oregon so far (I think that's the newest one, Kansas should be coming out soon). I have many many many multiples. If anyone needs anything at all, PM me and I can take care of all your state quarter needs. ;)

Thanks very much Linda....with a username like yours, how could I resist taking you up on your kind offer?:lol: I`ll send you a PM as suggested.
Thanks to some other friends here on the boards, your California quarter will be very much appreciated...Texas and Delaware are now sorted!

A warm welcome to the boards btw. Why not officially introduce yourself on the relevent forum...you are sure to be made welcome to our community there.

One thing which surprises me whenever I see our old currency, especially the half crown and the old penny is how HUGE they are!
However did I carry all that weight around in the good old days eh?
