Quarterly Review
One of my favorite things to collect is quarters.
Some of my rarest include one from 1978, and one that got some knicks out of the edge so it won't work in a vending machine.
As far as I know they are all worth about 25 cents each.
The coolest thing about collecting quarters is you can pull a Voltron and combine 4 of them in a special way to make a dollar.
You combine them by handing them to a cashier.
Now on to the review of the US Mint's QUARTERS OF THE STATES.
WORST QUARTER:
KANSAS
A really weak buffalo. And a daisy. Your state sucks.
BEST QUARTER:
CONNECTICUT
A tree. Simple. Elegant. Tree-mendous.
BIZNATCH QUARTER:
NORTH CAROLINA
Quit stealing your own fake accomplishment from Ohio you losers.
The Wright brothers took their plane from Ohio down to NC just because there was a very windy hill.
That is all your state is good for.
Wind.
And Hills.
And Barney Fife.
BIZZAREST QUARTER:
OHIO
It has a living person on it. I believe it is the only US coin in history to do that.
MOST PATHETIC QUARTER:
NEW HAMPSHIRE
They put some rock that kind of looks like a dude on their quarter.
Then the rock fell apart. New Hampshire is pathetic.
Quick, name a town in New hampshire.
Wrong.
That town's really in Connecticut. Home of the cool tree coin.
And in two related notes, that new nickel is so wicked awesome.
Close up of Jefferson? A totally killer mean Buffalo?
You couldn't have stuck a million baby monkeys in a thousand rooms with a billion typewriters and gotten a better American coin.
Not even if you waited a hundred years.
Andrew Jackson was our gayest president. I have determined this entirely from the 20 dollar bill.

Andrew Jackson? I thought that was Peter Gammons...

Peter Gammons and Len Pasquarelli are the only decent human beings on ESPN.com.
Sports Guy can suck one off and choke on it.
And a question for yo uhistory buffs out there.
I always forget if I should hate Andrew Jackson. Was he horrible or not?
Was he more horrible than Warren G. Harding? Reagan? Bush 1 through 3?
Any thoughts on the new Sacagawea dollar coin?
It gets lost in amongst the other change I think, but is cooler than the Susan B. Anthony.
The Sacagawea is good looking, but will only work if dollar bills are outlawed. The papoose and thick rim are hott, but folks hate round things more than rectangles. It's been proven with science.
We should get rid of all money and go back to a bartering system.
I would trade my stone arrowhead for 4 eggs at this very moment.
ESPN was lame to can Gregg Easterbrook. At least I can still catch his TMQ column on nfl.com.
the only place the dollar coins seem to be in use/circulation is the post office.
I used a twenty to buy a book of stamps the other day and ended up with 12 dollars in coins - there's good reason the sacagawea dollar hasn't really taken off... too bad for the server at the airport gustav's who ended up with all those 'dollars'.
Um, I think you forgot about this one: http://www.governor.state.ia.us/quarter/
File under most pathetic. What's in Iowa? Nothing but dinner.
