If you have an interest in coins or coin collecting, but you are not really sure where the place is to get started, why not consider starting your own unique state quarters collection?

Collecting coins, especially starting a state quarters collection is a hot topic right now, at least as far as many coin collectors seem to be concerned. One of the most popular types of collections to come along in a number of years is the state quarters collection, especially because this is a collectible item that isn’t rooted in a fad, meaning that you do not have to worry about your state quarters collection losing value or being worthless in the future. Anybody from any age, gender, any income background and absolutely any walk of life can do what it takes to start up a state quarters collection. Is this something that you are curious about doing?

Since state quarters are relatively easy to find, everyone can afford to begin a collection. If you’re on a budget, simply save the ones that you find in your change. You can also buy uncirculated editions from coin dealers or from the US Mint if you are becoming a little more serious about your state quarters collection.

The program that released a state quarter for every state in the United States ran beginning in 1999 and ended in 2008. Five different coins were distributed every year, with intervals of 10 weeks or so separating them. Each state quarter has an individual, unique design that is printed on its reverse side. The quarters were both minted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Denver, Colorado on a nearly 50% each basis.

The quarters that were minted in the year 2000 seem to be the most plentiful batch, as nearly 6.5 million coins were produced in that year alone. The lowest run of production was for the Iowa based quarter, which came from the mint in Philadelphia, as only 213,800,000 coins were made. The largest minting was for the Virginia based quarter, which was also minted in Philadelphia, and had a run of a total of 943,000,000 coins.

According to market research that was conducted in the year 2000 by the U.S. Mint, more than 106 million Americans were participating in some form of a state quarters collection. In April of 2006, it was determined that as many as 140 million collectors had begun to collect their own state quarters collections. This is the kind of collection that you can involve your entire family in if you like, or something that you can do all on your own as well. Because there are so many editions of the coins out there, it should not be difficult to create a complete collection of all 50 quarters.
