Quarters

Hey, you guys remember how for the past 7,000 years America has been minting quarters for every state? And you could put them in the collector's "map" that had holes for all 50 of them? Well, they finished up with that by the end of last year with Hawaii. Hooray, the collection is complete! But what's this? In January, they started making quarters for D.C. First of all, that's dumb, because it's not a state. Second, there's no place for it on the map, so do the American people have to get an entirely new map? And third, if they're going that far, why don't they go into Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, etc? Guess what? They are! On top of all that, there's now a vote out for Delaware residents to vote on the image to be printed on their next quarter!! They're starting this crap ALL OVER AGAIN! Here's a great way to stimulate the economy. Spend money to make a special quarter, then have the public trade in $10 for a roll of said quarters that will never be spent on anything because it's a collector's item that should never see the light of day again. Way to go, America!
