Idaho! 3 weeks ago

So I’ve actually been spending cash lately and no new quarters. Until last night. On a trip to Target for a new travel coffee mug, some lip gloss, a new tea mug and some coffee, I ended up with 3 quarters. Utah, old school and IDAHO!

I know, that’s a pretty glamorous errand, isn’t it? (It is a pretty sweet travel coffee mug.) :)

Hey, this leaves West Virginia, Iowa and Arkansas. Woot!

Alaska! 2 months ago

That’s right, after receiving all sorts of old-school quarters and duplicates, ALASKA. Oh, you beautiful bear – thank you for getting us to within 4 of our goal. Yeah, yeah…the territories have their quarters, but I started this before they got theirs.

That leaves West Virginia, Alabama, Iowa & Idaho. In the East Coast vs. West Coast, it’s looking like the West Coast is going to complete first…

(I’m trying to shame the other quarters in to appearing.)
